    Agreed. Reducing or eliminating unfunded mandates is part of my property tax reduction plan. It’s at http://GregAbbott.com . Click on the blue box titled Property Tax.https://twitter.com/gideonfotog/status/1034947317797978117 …

    Glad to hear you want to boost #schoolfunding Governor @GregAbbott_TX ...you could get a little bang for the precious taxpayer’s buck if you also reduced or eliminated #unfundedmandates🤨 https://twitter.com/GregAbbott_TX/status/1034903551015903232 …

        Then why do you sign this into state law every year? The exact line: “Property values and the estimates of local tax collections on which they are based shall be increased by 7.04 percent for tax year 2017 and by 6.77 percent in tax year 2018.”

        You stole 10 BILLION from education and put the money in the rainy day fund, then you raised property values by STATE LAW to have us make up the difference locally via taxes. All because you are in the pocket of billionaire private school owner Tim Dunn.pic.twitter.com/89EvVF3aOC

        It's an election year bruh, he's got to make it look like he cares about public ed and teachers. he'll say things like "we'll pay teachers 6-figs" & "we'll keep prop taxes low." B/c Texas ed is 43rd in the nation, people can't add, so he wins. And go back to gutting ed funding.

        How about we start with funding mandates. As AG, you defended state against fulfilling its constitutional obligation, & as Gov., w/Patrick & #TxLege, you have continued to underfund our #TxEd public schools, forcing local ISD’s to increase property taxes to close funding gap.pic.twitter.com/53wFfoF3BC

        Look at her page. Tj is most likely a bot that picked up on a funding conversation. This wasn't even a conversation about Planned Parenthood, or healthcare of any kind.

        Tj's bio starts off w/Christian Ministry. Apparently she serves the same god as @GregAbbott_TX & @DanPatrick. Tj's comments reflect an evangelical sickness. Texans must do better.

        Abbott & Patrick have held office for years and have made zero attempts to improve public education funding. They have allowed the burden of funding to be paid by local homeowners while stripping local taxes away to balance the state budget. I DO NOT BELIEVE YOU ARE BEING HONEST.pic.twitter.com/sgcUygwwKo

        B/c it's an election year! He's got to act like he cares! Gut the whole system for years, lie about wanting to change it during a few months before an election to get elected, get elected because ppl are dumb and educated in horrendous schools in Texas, go back to cutting funds.

        Greg, most Texans are sick & tired of your lies. You don't know what you're doing! Stop selling yourself to extremists! Unfunded mandates & not paying what's owed, or paying with funds due elsewhere is what you & @DanPatrick do. Texas credit rating will drop bc of you two.

        Property taxes have skyrocketed here in Austin under your watch more than ever before. You've already proven this isn't important to you. I think it's time to try Lupe @LupeValdez instead.

        You're a disgrace. You had a chance to provide healthcare for many Texans by accepting subsidies offered through the ACA, but you refused. And you've been running this property tax scam since you took office. Time to #makeTexasblue
