I need more clarification especially on proposition 2. The wording worries me the most. Adding a state property tax would be devastating to many Texans who are already struggling to keep their home. I am 110% against that. We need to lower or eliminate property tax, not add another one.

We were deceived on one of these a few years ago if I remember correctly. It was the amendment to give money to railroads to help improve crossings and the like which turned into a tax for the TTC. It’s been a few years, but I do remember something about that, just not every detail. Bottom line is, I do not trust any politician to do the right thing.

Agree with that - I trust politicians as far as I can throw them (I’m not very physically strong, btw).

The lottery was to be used for education, etc. The US income tax was a temporary measure to help pay for WWI (IIRC, possibly WWII). Regardless, a state property tax will be devastating to many.
