Why tax policy experts fear the Texas House plan to lower property taxes could have dire ripple effects
Both the House and the Senate’s proposals on property tax cuts would give modest savings to the typical Texas homeowner,
but critics say
the House plan could create vast inequities and
disproportionately benefit wealthy homeowners.

Benefit the wealthy? of course
Talerico has beclowned the Texas GOP regularly this session.
minor, but cool
Yes it does. Dan Patrick is right about appraisal caps. Not only do they disproportionately benefit owners of more expensive homes, they also privilege existing homeowners over first-time homeowners, and existing homes over new homes. Over the long run, they discourage new home construction. Appraisal caps are bad policy.Why tax policy experts fear the Texas House plan to lower property taxes could have dire ripple effects

Ever notice how Property Tax reform is a top priority every session in the TXLege? It's almost like it's an issue they don't actually want fixed...................
To fix it they would need to revamp the way we fund schools. Given they are trying to undermine the system it certainly seems to be working as intended.
Abbot asked the Sunset Commission to investigate poor school performance. He ignored it all.

How do you think insurance companies will work with this? Its an easy tack on if they want.
Id rather give it to the State.
Another middle finger raised to Uvalde massacre survivors. Seems the Lt. Gov. can make veto-proof bills disappear simply by not signing them after they are passed.
https://www.kxan.com/investigations/...-the-governor/A bill signed by a presiding officer following both chambers’ approval then not going to the governor for review is rare. This session — of the more than 1,240 bills enrolled — HB 30 is the only one that had not made it to Abbott’s desk as of Friday, according to a search and analysis of the Texas Legislature Online.
Marc Levin is nobody's liberal.
The law says the Lt.Gov "shall sign," it's a job requirement for the Lt.Gov to sign the lege passes, believe it or not.
Swaggering contempt for the law is thematic in the Texas GOP. Will to power doesn't scruple over the rules.
Goes hand in glove with licking the boots of the quasi-baronial constabulary. The state monopoly on force is sacred and must never be questioned or brought into official disrepute, especially when it disgraces itself.

The GOP is bad at governing even when they run everything.
Abbott and Patrick at each others' throats.
"VOUCHERS OR VETO"
short story, shorter: Dan Patrick eventually signed it.
Lt Governor has always been able to block legislation. It is the core of their power. This one is the biggest problem in Texas IMO, repeatedly disregarding the will of the people using said power.
yeah, but Dan Patrick eventually signed it.
First bill in the special session seeks to defund public schools -- in 2038.
stiff-arming the public on legislation with intergenerational impact
