Del Rio will probably just get more of the Robin Hood money now. I wonder if someone will ever figure out that that money isn't theirs to begin with either!

Maybe you missed it, but Robin Hood was finally thrown out as unconstitutional (violated the STATE constitution) a few years ago.

Actually, a judge ruled that Robin Hood didn't resolve the problem. He ruled it was unconstitutional, but provided no alternative. So over the past three years, our property taxes have been 'adjusted' downward to shift the burden to the state, so the taxpayer has been relieved. Which is good. However, 'rich schools' are still having to send 'recapture' money to 'poor schools'. My children's school district sent millions of dollars out and had to let teachers go. Robin Hood is not gone.
