7. Hold on , palmer
About Robin Hood: it stinks. As dollars from rich districts go to poor disricts, the property taxpayers of the rich districts have no control over how their money is spent or as may be the case, mis-spent.

Current example: the Ft. Worth Independent School District, a receiver of funds, has been victimized by poor management and fraud in the millions. That's for Ft. Worth taxpayers to resolve at their expense, not mine.

Finally, the Texas constitution guarantees each student an "adequate" eduacation, not an equal one.

The property tax freeze is an effort slow down big spending local governments. My property taxes have gone up dramaticly in the past 10 years, but my services are not better. Wouldn't you be mad?
