Freeing up property tax collections for what other corrupt political boondoggle?

[TexasTransplant]

In Texas “EVERYTHING” is to pay for Public Schools, then once it hits the Public Coffers it mingles with all the other funds and then we need to raise Property Taxes, State Sales Tax and Fuel Taxes just to keep New Public School Construction (each and every one named after a really spiffy Politician, with Stadiums and Olympic sized Pools) on track and on schedule.
10 or 20 years from now the Population will grow enough to allow them to lower Property Taxes... Promise!

I live in Texas and am very concerned about this.
