(🧡1/5) No one can have an honest conversation about #propertytax relief without also talking about reducing spending. Texas collectively does not have a revenue problem, it has a spending problem. #txlege lawmakers should consider curtailing local government spending (🧡2/5) #txlege lawmakers should support #HB2258 by State Rep @BriscoeCain which would impose a spending cap on counties/cities based on population & #inflation, just like the new spending cap on the state level.

(🧡1/4) 🚨#txlege House Ways & Means Committee convening now where among several items they will be deliberating #HB2 or the #PropertyTax "Relief" Act, a priority of House Leadership. You can tune in here ‡️
house.texas.gov/video-audio/ (🧡2/4) #HB2 aims to cut appraisal caps from 10% to 5% & give #propertytax relief through school M&O compression (which we support). We think more compression & adding a path to eliminating the tax altogether is not only possible but necessary for Texas Taxpayers! #txlege
