Bad landlords make Dallas housing miserable. Why can’t City Hall crack down? https://t.co/5HJFeQCYml

Great story from @jmchiquillo

Barry Lachman, a Dallas Area Interfaith leader said that not having enough data for at least five to 10 years can play against good landlords who are following the rules, but ultimately, the most affected by shorter retention periods are tenants.

TEXAS IAF CALLS ON SENATE TO VOTE NO ON FAILED CHAPTER 313 REVAMP UNDER HB5 #txlege

[DallasAreaInterfaith @DAI_IAF]

"DAI, the Texas IAF, allies and legislators killed the reauthorization of Chapter 313 in the 2021 legislative session. Rather than leaving the program in the grave, industry groups propose to resurrect Chapter 313 and make it worse in the form of #HB5."

Someone smarter than me explain why all but 14 Democrats voted for a massive corporate welfare program that is bleeding billions from the public education system? Is there a worse opposition party in the country?

[Forrest Wilder @Forrest4Trees]

Phelan needed Dems to get this thing passed b/c the far-right hates Chapter 313. Did Dems use this leverage to extract something meaningful from the speaker? Or did they just agree to another decade of bleeding the public treasury for big corporations?

House 5 worse than Chapter 313 that the Texas Legislature allowed to sunset in 2021.

[Network of Texas IAF Organizations @TexasIAF]

We launched a new ad denoucing Texas House Bill 5 as 'the new Chapter 313.' HB 5 (and corporate welfare) is bad for schools, bad for taxpayers and bad for Texas #txlege #chapter313 #corporatewelfare #TXED

New= Remember Chapter 313, Texas' $31B corporate tax break program lawmakers let die last year?

HB 5 would bring it back with much of the same language -- but with deeper subsidies for a broader range of projects & often with fewer rules.

Chapter 313 isn’t local control. School districts who grant the abatements don’t have to pay for them. Taxpayers across the state do. to the tune of $31Billion cost to taxpayers. Its “local out of control” for corporate tax giveaways. @TMO_IAF @copsmetro @DAI_IAF @WXSWIAF
