Issues: Government Budget and Spending

Runaway property taxes are largely driven by skyrocketing local debt, which is over $350 Billion for Texas. When looking at that on a per-person basis, that number is greater than the federal debt was when Democrat Jimmy Carter was president. In many cases, citizens don't know what they are voting on (that's by design) when it comes to bonds and officials can manipulate voting dates and locations to ensure that the bonds pass.
