        There will be no meaningful property tax relief until #txlege properly funds public education. The rest is noise. http://nowcastsa.com/blogs/commentary-real-property-tax-reform-means-real-solutions-school-finance …pic.twitter.com/9Bc9hDpCh6

        A broken school finance system is at the heart of the problem. #SB1 is just smoke & mirrors. #txlegehttp://www.houstonchronicle.com/opinion/outlook/article/Don-t-fall-for-it-Patrick-s-property-tax-11294008.php&cmpid=twitter-premium …

        But there's no need to take our word for it. @RepJimKeffer called #SB1 "bogus" property tax reform. #txlegehttp://bit.ly/2vvC9gK

        Fixing school finance and ending unfunded mandates are the best solutions for alleviating tax burden. #txlegehttp://buff.ly/2usDaWI

        You keep cutting state funding & then blame counties and cities for being forced to compensate? You have zero integrity. None. #txlege

        With all due respect, are you so out of touch that you don't know that ISD taxes make up closer to 60-70% of tax bills in some areas?

        That's the problem, you and #txlege won't focus on 60-70% of a tax bill. Then, @DanPatrick uses false info saying we'll save $2K per year.

        Because the State won't properly fund Schools! Local government is a drop in the bucket when it comes to property taxes.

        Stop the BS. SB1 mandates schools raise prop tax 14% over 2 yrs. Then you bash them for raising taxes. Stinks to hi heaven.
