No! No special sessions.

They just had their time to push wokeness and steal everything they could.

Texas property taxes are statewide—in most of the rest of the country they are local so each locality needs to be evaluated on its own merits.

Years ago that gave Texas a big advantage throughout the state—now that asset is turning into a liability.

The income tax was a big deal pre-retirement.

Now we can control our income to meet our expenses—that plus the social security exemption from state income taxes means that they are not a significant factor.

I ran all the numbers...

Compared to the Republican controlled legislature which punted on both issues.

We stayed put—deep in enemy territory—CT.

Our tiny rural town is great—we know everybody and have our cost of living under control.

And owls. Watched a great horned owl take a cat once. Also got knocked in the head by a barred owl while in my climbing stand.

And tornadoes ( been through 4) and hail.

And armadillos are prone to carry leprosy.

And had a shrew hanging off a cats face once.

Moles will tear up a yard.

And the birds that eat the wild berries and crap on your vehicle. It will ruin the paint.
