        Properly fund our public schools so the districts aren’t forced to raise tax rates to keep up with growth. That’s it. That’s all you have to do.

        It’s called kicking the can. You are spot on. Caps are meaningless when our current property taxes are already outrageously high. We need drastic rollbacks.

        Fix state funding for public school finance and you’re more than halfway there.

        $16,000 a year for property taxes in Grapevine. Insanity.

        With all of these folks from California moving to Texas my property tax is getting really high. I could use a tax cut.

        @GregAbbott_TX cuts necessary funding at state level then tries to cap locals sustainability. He's killing Texas public schools, healthcare, women's rights, and our environment. #SaveTexas #VoteThemOut

        The 2.5% cap proposed is DEVESTATING to small cities & ISDs. We can’t keep up with growth, also we are a net contributor to the State & you are about to kill the Golden Goose! WHEN WILL THE STATE SALES TAX BE REDUCED TO 2.5%? Fair is Fair RIGHT?

        Thank you! We relocated here and I’m still hyperventilating over our property taxes only to know they’ll go up every year. Regardless of zero income tax, this state taxes everything else.

        What are you doing about school finance? That’s the real issue. Local governments aren’t increasing taxes for fun, they’re doing it to provide their children with a good education after the state government cut their funding.
