If the U.S. doesn’t get its act together and demolish the unconstitutional portion, 80%+, of its federal government, a financially independent, free-market Republic of Texas looks better all the time. But they’ve got some work to do including cutting those high property taxes.
If Patrick gets rid of the 2/3rds rule, the Dems won't be able to block it in the Senate.

AMEN to that! Really getting aggravated. Since they can’t raise the tax rates for those with a Homestead and over 65 exemption, they keep raising the assessed value. Legislature could stop all this nonsense but doubt if they will. And they certainly could do a refund of tax payments from their coffers but they’d rather pump more into the public school system. Not sure they will ever understand that more money has never resulted in better education for public school students.
