Houston Property Tax Prop-1 vs. prop-2
does any one remembers, knows CA prop-13? It took Houston 25 years to deal with the problem. may be we're 25 years behind CA!
Our mayor Bill White is propoganding for Prop-1. why? Obviously he doesn't want citizen cutting the city fat budget. yet (and the mayor's own admition) the rate of local property taxes rose almost twice as fast as Houstonians' incomes. Where is it all leads? Obviously to Prop-2
why? Obviously it has been created by a group of caring citizens, and it will force more cost control at the city hall. subsequently, less need to increase taxes. Prop-2 is very similar to Colorado's Taxpair Bill of rights, or TABOR. A very successful implementaion of more financial control on the endless consumption of our local administration.
