Episode 3773: Hit-’em-while-they’re-down property tax loophole | Campaign finance numbers | Our proportionality problem – Pratt on Texas 7/16/2025
Manage episode 494894314 series 2863508
The news of Texas covered today includes:
Our Lone Star story of the day: Much reform has been accomplished on Texas’ local government property tax system but many exceptions that were needed to get bills passed need ending – especially the “hit ’em while they’re down” disaster loophole abused by local politicians. A new law takes effect next year that does tighten down the disaster loophole but only time will tell if it is enough.
Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.
In the border/immigration news stack there is a story that is an example of anti-Trump hyperbolethat only works with voters because of decades of failed public education – it’s the proportionality problem as I’ve long called it.
Campaign finance numbers rolling in:
- Greg Abbott logs $20M campaign haul after school voucher win
- Big money flows into Texas AG, comptroller GOP primaries
