Property taxes at 2.5% per $100 valuation is what ran me out of Texas!
I pay only 1.025% here in California thanks to Howard Jarvis and his fifteen year successful effort to pass Prop. 13.
How about abolishing the TEA first? Then talk about how to fund education. The TEA is far left it make Joseph Stalin look like Thomas Jefferson. That is all the more weird in that Texas is a very conservative State. The TEA is one of the last hold overs from the bad old days when Texas was controlled by demonrats like Dolph Briscoe. I am getting ready to move back to the Houston area to retire early after years in Asia. I want the TEA gone then come to me and ask how to fund education.
