Pratt on Texas

The news of Texas covered today includes:

Our Lone Star story of the day: Once again, we debunk, for the umpteenth time, the big lie spread around on Texas school funding. Hint, it’s double what advocacy groups say. State Rep. Harrison Busts School Funding Myths, Pushes for Fiscal Responsibility.
Our Lone Star story of the day is sponsored by Allied Compliance Services providing the best service in DOT, business and personal drug and alcohol testing since 1995.

More on the Lubbock County fight to stop a big tax increase. Some media get it right, others let the pompous Curtis Parrish feed a misleading line. And while Parrish says it would be terrible to not raise taxes, Tarrant County has already passed a big tax cut. Now, the City of Fort Worth has told the city manager to redo the budget and provide a tax cut there too!
Also from Tarrant County, public schools show they are about greed for money above all – claim the move to appraise residential property every two years, instead of every year, would destroy them and harm children!
Dallas Fed: Texas service sector growth modest; retail still in decline.
Temporary win for Americans, Texas, Paxton, et. al. over another Harris/Biden policy to encourage illegal immigration and fraud. Paxton’s statement.
