JUST IN🚨: TEXAS GOVERNOR GREG ABBOTT IS PUSHING A PLAN TO ELIMINATE SCHOOL PROPERTY TAXES FOR HOMEOWNERS.
That is not a small proposal.
Abbott’s property tax plan would target one of the biggest pieces of the average Texas homeowner’s tax bill: school district property taxes.
For a lot of Texans, that is the part of the bill that stings the most.

Didn’t matter if the subject was televisions, washing machines, Vietnam, Detroit, or the weather. He’d hold court for hours. The funny part was he wasn’t buying anything and hadn’t worked retail a day in his life. But if confidence were commission, he’d have been the highest-paid salesman in the county.
The older I get, the more I realize that fellow never really disappeared. He just multiplied.
Today he’s on television. He’s on social media. He’s sitting behind a podcast microphone. He’s writing columns, hosting panels, running focus groups, and explaining to complete strangers how they should ...
