Tid Bits on Property Tax Reform

The Texas senate committee advanced the tax reform bill SB 2 out of committee with the next action being a full senate debate/vote.

The local governments and their representatives argued long and hard against the bill. Here is what the senate committee had to say about the public hearings last week:

Isn't it great that taxpayers are paying to be lobbyed against their best interest, NOT!

Because the citizens/property taxpayers of Texas are motivated, the number of citizens testifying for the legislation exceeded those testifying against the legislation.

It's great to see citizens engaged in their government.
