Thursday evening, the Texas House passed the property tax relief bill that was passed by the Senate Wednesday.
The package could land on Gov. Greg Abbott’s desk by the end of the week. Voters must pass the plan in a constitutional election in November for it to take effect in the 2023 tax year."The rent is too damn high," State Rep. Gene Wu said.The plans’ architects have argued the benefits to property owners will be passed on to consumers, which some Democrats called bogus.
"Who out there watching this, who believes their landlord is going to give them a break instead of pocketing the money," Wu said. "They already raised rates once and they are going to do it again when they feel like it.""We have lost an historic opportunity to do better by our kids, our teachers, and our schools," State Rep. Gina Hinojosa said.
