@hcfwire They don’t care. The $305,000 salary base vote proves that.

And it’s not just the raise — the long‑term hit is even worse because their pension grows with every increase.

Taxpayers carry that burden for years.

*This is just an example — the real numbers can be higher.

Taxpayer Match:
• $22,412 ~ At $133k salary (2024)

• $29,997 ~At $178k salary
(2025)

• $43,816 ~At $260k salary
(2026)

• $51,399 ~At new $305k salary
(2027)

If their salary had never been hiked, the taxpayer match would still be around $22,412.

But because of the consecutive raises, taxpayers now carry a much bigger long-term burden.

This is why the salary increase (the jump from the old base to the new one ) is just the tip of the iceberg.

To protect our finances, we have to insist they decline that $305,000 new salary base — or step down and let someone who’s willing to serve at the current pay take their place.

If Texans deserve real public servants, then why vote for massive salary hikes for elected roles?

Let’s be honest, raising the salary base to $305,000 isn’t just about “compensation.”

All of you know it also inflates their pension match, taxpayers have to cover.

I asked an AI why the Commissioners might have approved the salary increases for Constables, and one possible reason it gave was that constables are popular in subdivisions that use the Contract Constable program.

I almost spilled my coffee. Maybe they’re popular in the wealthy subdivisions — but not in the working‑class ones, where HOA boards force homeowners to pay extra for the Contract Constable program.

And you have to wonder: it’s always the same people — the ones who defend the constable program — who end up winning those HOA board seats.

I don’t believe homeowners truly voted them in. I mean, I would believe it if I could see the ballots, but that’s not possible.

The management company counts the ballots, and they’re tight with the constable department.

Sure, you can “observe,” but you won’t be able to verify anything cos you’re not allowed to look at the ballots.

It’s a multi‑million‑dollar business. They keep squeezing people for more money in the name of safety, even though property taxes already pay for safety, too.

@nolagrace @TeamBettencourt You have other options but the media only wants to mention those 2.

We shouldn’t agree. We have to insist those elected officials decline their $305,000 salary increase. Except for the DA and County Attorney , those positions don’t event require a college degree.
They should decline raise before September 17,2026.

This was a Uni‑party decision — done for their own political interests, not for taxpayers.

Under Harris County’s TCDRS plan, an employee’s retirement account earns 7% guaranteed interest every year, and once they reach 8 years of service, they become fully vested. At retirement, the County matches the entire final account balance at 225%.

That means every salary increase boosts:

• the yearly contribution,
• the interest growth, and
• the final lump sum that gets multiplied by 225%.

Over 8, 12, or 20 years, this creates a much larger taxpayer‑funded payout than the salary alone suggests.

Most of those elected officials have already served at least 8 years. Their pension accounts are fully vested and eligible for that 225% match.

I randomly asked people at the grocery store if they are aware rent will soon increase. They have no idea.
The media are not explaining things properly and we are bombarded with new headlines -people lose their focus.

But we actually can still do something to lower the property tax rate. We have to insist those elected officials decline their $305,000 salary base. The County Clerk did, they can do the same. Before September 17, 2026.
