Robin Hood sucks!

Not sure how the state being involved would help.

The state is already involved. They created the Robin Hood recapture program in the first place and the cap on property taxes, all while placing more of the funding burden on ISDs through mandates, etc. And throughout all of this the courts have ruled that the system is inequitable based on the Texas Constitution. All the “fixes” (like Robin Hood) have been in response to those court rulings. And after the next court ruling, we will have to come back find another “fix.” Either we get in front of this by creating a statewide tax - a) statewide property tax or b) increasing the sales tax - or we keep doing the same thing over and over and over again.
