What is the solution for these disgruntled Republicans? How would they fund schools?
I have a suggestion. Make Texas a disclosure state and everyone will pay their fair share of taxes. Fair and Simple.
What I hear proposed most often would be to first create a "John Sharp Commission" for Spending Cuts rather than a commission for new taxes. For revenue, many of the conservative base around here and a few conservative state Senators favor a generally applied sales tax to address school budget needs, but only after all school district budgets in the state are audited. Spending cuts, then new taxes if necessary, is the order of events that adheres to basic conservative principles and the stated platform of the Republican Party in Texas.
