I have no idea. It's probably not even a goddamn bill, they got some fake news on their facebooks and now a thousand grandmas are tweeting the identical thing at every state official they can think of with that hashtag, making it useless. note the qanon poo poo

Yeah last session they couldn't come to a consensus on 4 vs 6% (senate wanted lower, house said no) so we'll see what the final rate is. Auto trigger is big too.

There's significant momentum in the house for a 50/50 split between locals and state on pub ed eventually, but that's probably DOA in the Senate under the current membershipPostNouveau posted:So just no more schools or what? We'll have to see what the fiscal note says, but both base budgets include billions more in ed funding. Of course, the state is flush right now and if it's just a one-time infusion it won't go far, but an actual change in the formulas, weights and allotments would be enduring. e: lmao https://twitter.com/GregAbbott_TX/status/1088918898643271680 https://twitter.com/James_Barragan/status/1091009416902688769 BTW if a democratic statehouse had hosed up some red meat base appeal like this, you'd never hear the end of it on Fox News zoux fucked around with this message at 17:39 on Jan 31, 2019 |

The property tax thing is going to be hard to swing with all the other funding sunsets that are coming up, which have been traditionally used to help the general revenue fund. A lot of fees and taxes that are assessed end up sitting in a bank account that legislators dont have time to even think about spending in the 140 days they're in the building. I have no idea how this can interact with any meaningful school finance reform. But maybe the point is to kill that before it happens with this? I'm not sure where Burrows stands re school finance.

Texas Emissions Reduction Program is a big one. 1.6 billion sitting in a bank account there. Same thing for the Texas Parks. Theres also been a push to move a lot of commissions and boards around to be put under TDRL. and TCEQ is asking for a lot more cash as well. Also teachers retirement system still needs a fix. Should be a rainy day fund thing but whatever.

Badger of Basra posted:Lol RIP local governments So what's to stop the Appraisal Districtzzzz from just jacking up the values to recoup the loss? This obviously hurts local governments, but I'm sure counties will find a way around it. In Hidalgo County, we're still paying for poo poo that was levied ages ago, and most of the projects have never been completed, and some never even started.

Bonnen claimed that appraisal reform isn't nearly as heavy a lift as property taxes so they put it in it’s own thing. But I imagine if they could do it they would’ve.

My guess is that appraisals will explode if this passes and voters don't approve corresponding local TRE's. We've seen that on several occasions here, with some people being appraised sometimes $30k more in a single year (and their protests denied) after a bond issue or TRE fails.

We've seen that on several occasions here, with some people being appraised sometimes $30k more in a single year (and their protests denied) after a bond issue or TRE fails. Voters won't vote for tax increases over 2.5%, that's the whole point. Then the state gets to blame counties for not covering basic services and pretend like they cut taxes as well. BUT I don't see how it passes, because as TMF said yesterday, the only difference between this session and lass session is the House elected 26 more Democrats. They couldn't get a rollback rate less than 6% out of that chamber, I have no idea how in the hell they're gonna get 2.5. That's not even considering Salty Seliger who voted against a 4% rate last session even though it cost him his chairmanship and seat on Finance. https://twitter.com/lmcgaughy/status/1091409651353243648 The guy whose seat he won was filing fetal tissue bills at this time last session. zoux fucked around with this message at 20:03 on Feb 1, 2019 |

The GOP base just wants to make sure minorities can't vote; they don't give a poo poo if the justifications for it don't hold up. Like, they KNOW it isn't true. A politician who will stand up there and spout something everyone knows is bullshit is just proof of their loyalty to the cause of ethnically cleansing Texas.

The family is arguing that the store sold him a high-capacity mag that was illegal in Colorado, where he's from. But maybe this means any victim/family can sue a gun store if they hosed up on following any regulations?
