In Houston, over 1.0% goes to schools alone.
There are a lot of kids that need teachers in Houston.
So I think that's ok.
I like to have LEO around so I'm ok with their portion of that 3.0% too.
How much of that 3.0% goes to welfare people?
I'm sure some because HISD provides meals to needy kids outside of school hours
And I'm not a scrooge so if your kid is so poor that they need to eat the crahpy HISD school food during non school hours I'm going to say "May God bless y'alls hearts" and I hope that the food will provide you the sustenance your kid needs.
I don't care if daddy blew his paycheck on lottery tickets and momma spent hers on curling irons.
I'm going to ensure the kids eat first then I'll deal with the parents later.
Besides, how much of my 3.0% went towards providing a packet of instant oatmeal, a half banana and a cup of watered down apple juice to this kid do their stomach won't be growling until noon?
And that football stadium in Waller needs to be supported by outside bonds and should have nothing to do with their property taxes. If it does, wait....How much does it cost to build a stadium these days? 10 million? 20million? Is Wallers current stadium falling apart? Does it have adequate lighting, parking spaces. handicap seating/access? If not then maybe it is time for an upgrade.
I know that border area ISD that put in a Schlitterbahn was wrong for that but hey.
