"also because it imposes a de facto state property tax."Personally, I would love to see an end to education funding through property taxes. A better distribution of responsibility would be through sales tax adjustments.
Counties should have to pay their own way!

Yay, boo, whatever.
Not sure what this means for me, personally, except that I’m sure that they’ll find a way to claw even more dough out of me than the obscene amounts they get now.
THAT much is a given.

When will free or nearly free education on the internet make the brick and mortar schools obsolete?

One does not truly own their property if they have to keep paying taxes on it!

Re: de facto state property tax
The only reason it could be considered a state property tax is because some other judge previously decided that local property taxes should be redistributed to the poorer school districts.

You betcha, BB. Always ready to help spread the word about all things Texas.
I can see “helping” with the responsibility of running the state government, so we ARE independent to a point, but they just keep trying to wring more and more out of this dried up turnip!...and others like me!
