You think Rodney buys suits off the rack, drives a Kia and drinks Ancient Age bourbon off the bottom shelf?

Any word if the commissioners have voted yet.
ATTENTION EVERYONE; Harris County Commissioners said a 7.6% tax hike is your only option. Their own 128-page budget says otherwise.

How about limit how many family members can attended these graduations. Keke doesn't need to invite her 40 plus family and half the soul searching freedom baptist church to she her graduate.

We talking college or high school?
College i can see people being proud of someone being the first in the family....
High school, this is something expected.
There shouldn't even be a graduation. Just mail the diploma.

With 4 dems on the court the max tax rate will be adopted. No brainer.

"The proposed budget would increase county spending by about 12 percent, or roughly $327 million.
...
Mark Jones, a political science professor at Rice University, says the county's spending is growing much faster than population and inflation.
...
"This will represent a 30% increase for most homeowners compared to what they were paying back in 2023," Jones said.
...
Jones says some of the biggest pressures include law enforcement, employee health care and programs that were originally funded with temporary federal pandemic money."
My comment has always been when the Fed ARPA COVID funds ran out they'd never let those programs die. So here we are getting taxed harder for bull**** policy that could have never been funded before.
"Jones says roughly 15 to 20 percent of county expenditures go toward programs that are not required by state law.
...
Bill King, a fellow at the Baker Institute, says this year's increase is unusual compared with other counties.
"There's very few counties around the state that are increasing their spending by 12 percent in one year. This is very much an outlier," King said.
King says the county has also added thousands of employees and increased compensation and health-care costs."

It is insanely frustrating to watch politicians do this and have no accountability. Everyone will cover for them. I'm sure the local news is running segments about how the county is struggling with "raising costs".
