No it is not judicial activism -- the Texas Supreme Court is righting an injustice IMHO. The State took property taxes from our school district to give to San Antonio ISD. That was my property taxes helping fund San Antonio schools and depriving our school district where are children were students of the money for example.
Way to go TX Supremes -- about time!
I know exactly what you are saying. I live in Northern Michigan, and have had my taxes taken form our school district and given to Detroit for years. Even when our schools were closing due to lack of money (democrat governor) Detroit was opening more schools!
That's what they do in Jersey for the Abbott districts. With the money my township collects in property taxes, everyone there could be cheuffered to school.
To the contrary this will lead to MORE subsidization of the poor by the rich. It is the discrepency between property tax revenues per district which led to this decision.
Read the opinion. It does nothing to change the Robin Hood redistribution mechanism.
