Here's a question to my fellow Texans on this issue:

In a related article recently it was reported that one of the "richest" districts, Eanes ISD (Westlake area of Austin) was going to be sending more money out via Robbing Hood than they were going to be able to keep for their own use. It would seem to me that if I were in charge of that district I would just REDUCE the tax rates as necessary to fund Westlake's needs without the "excess" that would be sent to other districts. Why hasn't this been proposed? Am I missing something about how this system works (probably)?

They have to send the money regardless of what their tax rate is, or their income. Kinda like a Mob collector. He doesn't care how bad your business is, all he wants his payment.
