What is a school trustee's favorite extracurricular activity? Spending taxpayer money!
Educrats and most school trustee's seem to have a hard time understanding the concept of education. Most believe that bigger and newer buildings are the answer to their problems. Most know that these buildings don't take the TAKS exams and the building has very little to do with student success.
Schools are not the only problem! Cities and Counties have a spending problem as well.

Appraised Value Notices Are Out
Did you get yours? I got a couple and for the life of me I don't understand how a 5 acre tract triples since 2009. I thought real estate values were down and not up. Any how there is a 5 acre tract next to mine that has been for sale for two years at an asking price of $20,000 and there has been no offers. Guess mine not for sale is worth more than the one that is for sale in the eyes of the appraisal district. Oh well time to suit up and get ready for battle! This is becoming a yearly battle and it should not be in my opinion. Eliminate the appraisal district's and enhance the sales tax. Then again Outsider has advocated shutting down the public schools and perhaps it is time.

ReplyDeleteModus Operandi OF The CAD
ReplyDeleteBased on past observations of our CAD, it appears that appraisals are increased systematically. It appears that different groups are targeted each year. The taxing authorities keep us divided. This prevents a mass uprising.
The little battles that we think that we have won at our ARB hearings and in binding arbitration are insignificant. After the shakedown is completed, most of us have still been forced to pay a greater sum to the taxman.
We should be able to petition for change if we have the will to do so.
