If you think Medina would be a good choice for Texas’ Governor, then visit her campaign website and maybe even donate $10 or $20.

An interesting side note is that Medina’s website list $10,000 as a donation option. This is so because the FEC doesn’t control state elections, thus the rules that limit federal contributions to $2-$3K don’t apply. In any event, it’s small donations that make the difference.

I would just like to add that the State of Texas is prohibited from levying a state-wide property tax. This is precisely the reason why Texas’ Foundation School Program (Education Financing Scheme) was struck down in 2005 as violating the Texas Constitution. Discretion must be left to the LOCAL GOVERNMENTS in levying property taxes, if at all. Rick Perry had nothing to do with one county taxing more or less.

Property taxes are hugely important to education financing in Texas, as it is in most other states, and even if we do have “Robin Hood” or a similar program, the local governments STILL have discretion in levying property taxes.
