Carole Keeton McClellan Rylander (your name here) Strayhorn is a joke.

Well thanks for being honest, but if you are not going to read the article then you can not understand why Strahorn calls Perry's numbers bogus. All you can do is name call. Now I can't stand Strayhorn but I think she is right. Perry's numbers do not add up. Many of us Texas Freepers have been against this plan but none of us thought Perry was cooking the books. Now it looks like he was.
That tax cut will not be ther in three years or so with the property tax appraisals rising at 7 to 10 percent a year. But his new tax will. This is useless without a property tax appraisal cap. Everyone I know who has looked at it knows we are being shafted.
Yes, Strayhorn did not calculate an improving economy, the improving economy generated an unforeseen surplus.
And for the record I do not hate him. I oppose his new higher taxes and fake tax cut. It is to the determent of my family as teh primary reason. That and I do dislike being lied to.
While I am no fan of this oppotunistic, self-described "one tough grandma"; I can't stand Rick Perry either. He is an embarrassment to the State of Texas and his alma mater, Texas A&M. The guy is just stupid.
So, I hope grandma gets as much traction as she can out out of her attacks and pull votes from the dumb a** governor. Hopefully the votes he loses will go to Kinky Friedman (I) the only sensible candidate in this race; for real.
Yep. Video poker machines at race tracks, closing business tax loopholes, draining the governor's business development fund (which helped bring new businesses to Texas), and "budget savings."
IOW, Strayhorn does not have a clue how to provide a steady source of funding for Texas schools. Her solution would have resulted in the Texas Supreme Court (which owns this case) mandating tax increases in who-knows-what area.
Strayhorn is nothing but mouth. Her $5 billion revenue error last year proved she couldn't even do the job she was elected to.
The sad part of this is that of the 4 running we do not have a small government low taxes conservative. I would not spit on any of them if they caught fire. Also as a side note. I live in the Houston area and listen to talk radio everyday during drive time. Out of over 50 calls in the past 2 weeks only 2 or 3 defending Perry's big government grab. The rest are against it and him. Check the wind.
Not home owners, our property taxes are driving us out of our homes. The only reason I can still afford to live in my home is becuase I refinanced to 5 1/4 from 7 3/8. Property Taxes plus manitory insurace or now greater then my note.
Yes she is a wack job.
..and her reaction to it was priceless... something on the terms of ...well, uh... uh... it's all Bush's Perry's fault.. he should have.. uh... uh.. vote for me.. uh.. uh.. corridor.. uh....
Friedman would turn Texas into a laughingstock.
How would Friedman fund Texas schools? Anybody know?
He has NOTHING in the way of policy statements on his web page. Just pap.
According to grandma strayhorn, the number have never added up - only she can do the math. /sarc
That's because you listen to Houston's equivalent of Michael Savage: Dan Patrick.
When these three stooges (Ma, Kinky, Chris Bell) are confronted during debates and asked how they would fund education, they'll be revealed for the shill artists they are.
Have you ever filed a challenge to your appraisal?
Lets get a few thing straight:
Dan Patrick is speaking the truth, he also is teh republican nominee for the senated district 7 seat and he won with about 70% of the vote in the primary. This ia a safe rep district. He will have vastly more infulence in Austin then you or I.
The Harris County Tax collector assessor, who is on the short list to replace Delay on the ballot agrees with Dan.
And of course the Austin "Shut up and Pay you pessant" Crowd doe snot like them. Peopel who are doing wrong never like to ahve their transgressions exposed.
We may end up with Kinky Friedman in office if this keeps up.
