I had to go back and see what I said but I said Texas only got a third of the rent. This is based on my own experience as a Texas landlord.
I’ve only been back in Texas since Gov. Perry but from the changes I have seen, I would guess that several governors before Perry have also been very expensive.
I was wondering who would be the first to catch that! LOL ;)
Brilliant idea!
Aw-shucks. It weren't nothing. I imagine Gov Perry would want it that way anyhow judging by his track record.
How does TX get any money from rent? Texas Real Estate Broker and Landlord.
Agree with you...I am sickened by the celebrity like corrupt state of politics....And government.
I did not mean to say Texas “gets” any of my rent money. However, it has to be paid by some means. Of the $715/month rent I receive off my buildings, the County “gets” roughly 24% of it ($175/mo) at the end of the year in property taxes. If my meager home at Albuquerque were in this Texas county, my tax bill would be over $8,500 a year. It’s not a pretty picture for a retiree.
LOL! As a resident of New Mexico, I cannot vote in Texas elections so I really haven’t gotten too involved in Texas politics. I do know my home state has really changed.
I know a lot of public company CEO. (Pre-Sarbanes/Oxley, I was one myself -— now, it’s not worth the bother.)
I walked into one position at a company, and found out that one of my perks was a vacation home in Aspen and one in Horseshoe Bay. Neither taxable.
LOL!! Good idea. Will his black Suburban have a TXTAG?
It is a sad commentary that security was one of the driving factors. Is Austin that dangerous?
He’s just getting used to the lifestyle he’ll enjoy while working for Cintras after he’s kicked out of the governorship. Didn’t Arkansas put their governor up in a trailer while their capital was being renovated? Sounds like a more prudent use of Texas taxpayer dollars. I imagine they could get a couple of trailers cheap from FEMA.
You are probably right.
