Housing can't keep up with the regular growth so housing costs are outrageous. Property taxes are out of this world. I'm paying nearly 4 months of income just on property taxes and now Apple get a break on their taxes so guess who gets to foot their bill.
There are 14 schools that are closing because they don't have enough tax funding to keep them open or do repairs. Class size has already gone up to accommodate this. AISD is already in discussions to lay off teachers and staff.
Corporate welfare. Taking peoples’ money to bribe a company to stay in the area and give jobs.
Not at all cost-effective. Those who don’t get the free money pay higher taxes. This is unequal treatment, and is illegal and unconstitutional.
Many ex Californians are relocating to Sun City in Georgetown, a retirement community in Williamson County.
Once the most Red county in the state of Texas had a majority vote for the fake Mexican Beto.
the California cancer spreads.
A few years back the local news in Austin ran a story about a woman who was having to sell her house because she could not afford the property tax. She couldn’t understand why her property tax was so high. They asked how she voted, she said Democrat and voted YES for every bond issue when it came to schools and such. But she just didn’t see the relationship between bond issues and property tax....makes one wonder if maybe there should be some sort of test to be able to vote.
They same thing will happen here, tax rebates(refunds) to Apple, the need for infrastructure improvements and new bond issues. Same cirle jerk as always.

Tax breaks to private companies seem unconstitutional, they are inherently unfair to other private companies, especially any competition. Why do the courts allow it? Should be challenged. Government can bribe I guess and it’s legal.
