The legislature lied to its citizens, what's new, saying lottery funds would be dedicated to schools. They immediately after passed directed the money to the general fund to spend on stupid sheet like they always do.

How about a higher sales tax? That way even illegals are contributing instead of just being a money suck.
would take something like a 20 cent sales tax to replace property taxes.Reload8098 said:

The state government doesnt levy any property taxes. School districts and municipalities are the ones eating people alive. No one seems to care when its time to vote for school board- we keep letting teachers unions pick the people who levy these taxes. You likely have a bond election in your ISD this week that will increase your taxes, just wait and see how many people actually vote.Reload8098 said:
Tennessee doesn't have an income tax and sports some of the lowest property taxes in the nation. There's either some serious fraud going on in our state grovernment or massive social services but sumptn is up.

I'm in NW Austin and our appraisal went up $86k. Land value stayed same, house went up about 17.5%. Completely random - most houses on our street went down, some stayed the same and one other house went up a grand total of $6k. I'll be protesting (again) - there is no objective data that supports such an increase.
We spend billions on illegals annually as a country. I'm glad Abbott is asking for health costs for illegals in this state. We also need the costs for education, incarceration, and insurance (uninsured motorist) as well.Reload8098 said:
