"Flying to west Texas for a speech this week, I chatted on the plane with a very nice lady, Samantha, who was furious about her property taxes. She was disgusted by the nonsensical chatter of those we elect to represent our interest. And as a small business owner, she was outraged by the imposition of the state’s new business tax."
The school district in which she lives has called for a bond election that will elavate her property tax decrease she just received last year from the legislature back to higher than it was before our representatives reformed school finace.
"Did she vote in the primary? Nope; she wasn’t too excited by the presidential choices. Bad move. It’s hard to affect change if one isn’t voting."
According to Michael Quinn Sullivan of Empower Texans "you and I can correct bad policy decisions, and promote good legislative thinking, by our active vigilance. When elected officials know we’re watching, and holding them accountable at the ballot box, their performance will improve. Or the performance of their successor will be an improvement!"
