Ending property Texas would have been a game changer for Texas.

In the other hand, bringing in all the H1-B’s and dirty muslims was next to criminal.

I’m personally glad his political career is over these 2 things will haunt Texas for decades

Yeah the Republicans are pulling outright scam on the Texas public with their claims that they're doing something about property tax courtesy of Sen. Bettencourt of Houston

who has a business that helps homeowners appeal property taxes so they've written it to be so difficult and constantly going up that those that appeal probably taxes make money

With the rise in valuations over the past several years, our property taxes sky rocketed on these unrealized gains.

I noticed my property valuation isn’t going down as quickly as it went up.

He was governor forever and Rick Perry was governor forever and GW Bush was governor for too long. So it was about time the Rs managed to get kicked out.

Not sure if this is what you're asking, but the tyrannical "emergency" powers he flaunted and sometimes abused, will be used by his opponents unless he calls a special session. Which he won't, IMO.

Ultimately not stepping aside and promoting younger conservative leadership to serve as the next wave. People are tired of these same guys.

Weed and Gambling--

You can't claim to be a state of freedom, but you're one of the most restrictive states in the country when it comes to government-imposed restrictions on personal freedom.

1. Illegal immigration. He didn’t act until Trump came along to push actually enforcing the law. He was too late to the party because he was fine with the cheap labor.
2. HB-1. We now have entire cities & neighborhoods of nothing but Indians

So no tax revenue whatsover (or barely any)? You already have no income tax. This is how Democrats win elections.

They tried the ultra low tax thing in Kansas 15 years ago and it failed spectacularly.

Most conservatives like good public schools, good infrastructure and SOME government services.

Abbott didn’t pass anything to ensure white students get a quota for spots into the University of Texas.

To combat what Bo French was complaining about.

He could’ve called the policy “Affirmative Action”…

Studies have proven that you simply have to raise the sales tax from 8.25% to 12.25% and revenues across Texas would the same.

Isn’t a sales tax the most progressive tax since “rich people” spend more?!?
