Probably not many Katrina people in Williamson County but possibly increases in Hispanic
population. At some point the Katrina thing is going to have fissile out. It’s hard
to get accurate data on the number that have become Texas residents but according to some
estimates it is much less than the 250,000 or so estimate that came immediately after Katrina.
The Katrina thing isn’t going to fizzle out for me. I know of some who were given P R I M E church and ranch land. They’ve built themselves a dozen or so houses on it and don’t pay taxes. Meanwhile, my property taxes have gone from two weeks’ pay to 3 months’ pay.
