HOUSTON: Left-Leaning Harris County Finalizes Highest Tax Rate in Modern History
Harris County commissioners voted 3-1 Thursday to finalize a combined property tax rate of 67 cents per $100 of taxable value, the highest in the county’s modern history.
PROPERTY TAXES ARE SKYROCKETING all over Texas right now (exactly as I predicted last session).
Local elected officials are blaming the state government... and the state government is blaming the locals.
Spoiler alert: they're BOTH correct!!
Here's why:
1) Local elected officials are are absolutely responsible when they vote to raise property taxes by adopting a tax rate higher than last year's effective tax rate (also called the "no-new-revenue" rate), and...
2) The Texas government is absolutely (and ultimately) responsible because it authorized the local governments to enact these outrageous property tax hikes.
I hope this helps.
WOW 🚨 Democrat Washington Rep Pramila Jayapal says she launched “Resistance trainings” against the Trump Admin and ICE and already has over 30,000 members
These are online and in person seminars to train how to obstruct ICE, ORGANIZING PROTESTS, teach boycotting businesses, create movements, ‘local organizing’ and more
I looked more into this and get training sessions are from 90 minutes to 2 hours on Zoom, with breakout groups. Also in person trainings are held. She said they’ve trained about 30,000 people across all 50 states
She has a website and an online form to signup and grow their resistance
How in the heck is this allowed??
The next time you hear someone complaining about the "revenue cap," show them this slide and ask, did you want to raise our property taxes by more than 12.9% annually.
Harris County commissioners voted last week to adopt the highest property tax rate since at least the mid-1980s. Residents can our calculator below to get an idea of what their bill may look like. https://t.co/1D0r6KlKur
Shocking numbers!!... TxLege has increased spending at rates that would make DC Democrats blush!! LITERALLY!!...
Everyone knows the federal government has a spending problem… but most people have no idea that the TEXAS GOVERNMENT is FAR outpacing them!
In the last five years, Texas has increased spending at nearly TWICE the rate of the federal government!!
Instead of ELIMINATING PROPERTY TAXES… TxLege has wasted your hard earned money on liberal pet projects like Hollywood subsidies, DEI, transgender indoctrination, and corporate welfare for data centers and other rich corporations!!
Betrayal!
CUT SPENDING!!
ELIMINATE PROPERTY TAXES!!
MAKE TEXAS FREE AGAIN!!

🚨 RUBIO JUST SAID THE NUMBER THEY NEVER WANTED ON TV 🚨
Americans work 40 years.
They retire.
Social Security: $800. $900. A thousand a month.
Somebody who got here from Cuba three months ago: $1,500 a month.
Marco Rubio said it out loud.
“So imagine if you’ve been working here for 40 years and your Social Security check is smaller than the benefits going to a 28-year-old, able-bodied person who just got here. That’s real. That happens. That’s happening every day. That makes no sense.”
You paid in.
They landed.
They beat your check.
That’s not compassion.
That’s a slap in the face with your own tax dollars.
Houston is becoming a bigger player in the GLP-1 boom. Eli Lilly's massive new campus is now under construction, bringing thousands of jobs in a record-setting investment https://t.co/1l0IZuBj1U
@HCPrecinct4 Here we go—@LesleyBrionesTX@HCP4__Briones! This isn’t what anyone is talking about and you know it. It’s the $0 healthcare, 68% raises for bureaucrats, overinflated contracts given to your high-dollar donor’s, $2.5M to one single illegal alien and $468,000 for GAY SOFTBALL.
It wasn't enough for Biden to leave the southern border open.
They even booked flights.
Over 530,000 CHNV (Cubans, Haitians, Nicaraguans, Venezuelans) were dropped into unsuspecting American cities.
Open borders were a choice.
Flights were a choice.
November is a choice.
