FREE EVENT!
Doors open at 6PM (Food Truck)
Event begins at 6:30PM
Texas State Representative Brian Harrison (District 10) strongly advocates for the complete abolition of property taxes, which he considers immoral. He has championed sweeping legislation to immediately curtail local tax hikes and aggressively criticized legislative leadership for failing to provide more significant tax relief. Rep. Harrison says,
“We must restore fiscal responsibility to local government.”
“Never ending property taxes are unethical, immoral, inconsistent with private property rights, preclusive of home ownership, and must be abolished.”
“Until then, any property tax hikes should require an election.”
“Outrageous taxpayer-funded electioneering for bonds and VATRE’s (aka tax hikes) has been happening all across Texas. That must end.”
Some of the bills that Rep. Harrison brought in for consideration during the 89th legislative session:
HB 250 would require voter approval for all property tax increases.
HB 698 would eliminate property taxes “within five years.” The bill establishes an interim committee of House and Senate members to determine how to replace lost property tax revenue.
HB 774 would force local governments to use any surplus revenue to reduce property taxes “on our way to fully abolishing them.”
HB 217 would require a 60-percent supermajority vote to raise property taxes.
HB 919 would stop tax dollars from being used to campaign for higher property taxes.
HB 953 would prevent contributors to bond campaigns from profiting off the bond-funded projects.
