TALARICO is the most radical, extreme, leftist to ever run statewide in Texas!
ALL Republicans (including #JohnCornyn) must work to defeat him!... and #Burrows4TX must strip Talarico of the House leadership positions he indefensibly gave him!

Do not be deceived... a vote to "keep the same tax rate as last year"... is a vote to RAISE PROPERTY TAXES if appraised values have gone up, which they have!!
I will keep exposing the lies... and continue fighting to ELIMINATE PROPERTY TAXES!!
In the comments I explain how "keeping the same rate as last year" actually translates to a 12.05% TAX INCREASE, as proposed in Ellis County Judge John Wray's budget, along with a link to the URL where you can see it for yourself.

Gaslighting! Here’s what his “actions” gave us:
- a DEMOCRAT Speaker Pro Tem
- a DEMOCRAT Parlimentarian
- DEMOCRAT CHAIRS
- TALARICO put in House leadership
- record high property taxes
- record high spending
- record high corporate welfare
- record high debt
- and he is STILL REFUSING to meaningfully punish quorum breaking Democrats, strip Talarico from leadership, confront Sharia law, or combat birth tourism.

I'm fighting to protect LIBERTY in Texas and to ELIMINATE PROPERTY TAXES!!
But Texans deserve the TRUTH about the uniparty corruption in the Texas government that has been thwarting conservative priorities for years.
Despite complete Republican control, Democrat policies have been prioritized... and spending, taxes, and debt have reached record highs in Texas.
I am hated by the political class because I travel around the state pulling back the curtain and ushering in unprecedented TRANSPARENCY to the Austin swamp.
If we're to save Texas... it will come from the bottom up, not the top down!
When the Texas PEOPLE learn the truth about how they've been betrayed... and they demand action... that's how we will SAVE TEXAS!!
I had a great time in Johnson County speaking at Elephant in the Room - Conservative Community Roundtable, and I'm posting the video below.
Texans deserve the boldest, most pro-liberty, conservative government in America. Let's make that happen together!!

More property tax insanity (and another case study on why we must ELIMINATE PROPERTY TAXES!!)
What exactly is Ellis County’s Voter Approval Tax Rate???
After the bombshell admission that Ellis County can’t account for $20 MILLION of your dollars, the County’s fuzzy math scandal gets even worse!... The tax rate information keeps changing, and it just changed again!
First it was the new property tax revenue that kept changing, then it was the No New Revenue Rate,… and now it’s the Voter Approval Tax Rate (VATR) which magically changed… again!
The VATR is the rate at which local governments attempt to raise taxes so much that it is illegal unless voters approve that tax rate in an election. These elections often fail because voters do NOT want higher property taxes, which is why local governments often skirt state law by setting rates just BARELY below the Voter Approval Tax Rate, sometimes as little as 0.000x below the VATR.
Tax hiking politicians do NOT want voters to get to vote on property tax hikes!!
So, what exactly is Ellis County’s Voter Approval Tax Rate????...
We have no idea!!
Unfortunately, and indefensibly, Ellis County has put forth at least THREE different numbers for what the VATR is - in just the past nine days!:
1️⃣ The County’s original proposed budget, AND their amended proposed budget, shows a VATR of 0.280238
2️⃣ A slide presented by the Ellis County Tax Assessor Collector at the Commissioners Court meeting on Tuesday the 18th showed a VATR of 0.280685
3️⃣ Ellis County just published their NOTICE OF PUBLIC HEARING ON TAX INCREASE in the newspapers as required by state law, but it shows a VATR of 0.283796
IMPORTANT: The VATR that was presented at Commissioners Court when THEY VOTED to propose the tax rate DOES NOT MATCH the number that was published in the newspaper!
Unfortunately for Ellis County taxpayers, while the VATR is not known, what is known for a fact is that Ellis County has proposed to RAISE PROPERTY TAXES.
At this point, does anyone trust their math at all???
My constituents deserve better than governmental fuzzy math. They deserve the truth… and they deserve property tax CUTS, not property tax hikes from supposedly “Republican” County Commissioners.

I have been reliably informed that many property-tax-hiking politicians are quite angry with me right now...
I can live with that! 😂
I’ll never apologize for putting THE PEOPLE over politicians… or fighting to ELIMINATE PROPERTY TAXES!!

After the kids went down I took a seat, hit record, and had no idea what was gonna come out... just messing around in G sharp minor.
Hope you don't mind the non-political post.
Don't worry, I'll get back to posting about property taxes tomorrow!

Now #TexasMonthly is calling me a "brash right-wing social media power user."
I've been called much worse (including by this liberal rag)!...
We've come a long way from the "cockroach" days! 🤣

Perhaps I should file a bill requiring 24/7 video surveillance recorded and viewable in real time via a publicly accessible website for any elected official who votes for FLOCK cameras…🤔
“If they’re not doing anything wrong, they have nothing to hide”… right??… RIGHT!??
“If they’re not doing anything wrong, they have nothing to hide”… right??… RIGHT!??
Why don’t I see any TxLege Republicans campaigning on their votes to give $1.5 BILLION tax dollars to liberal Hollywood???
The #TexasGOP officially opposes FLOCK and APLR camera! So do I, and have been filing bills to fight them for years!
Unfortunately, the Texas state government as well as local governments all over Texas are using YOUR money to build the foundation of a dystopian surveillance state!!
As your local elected officials if they voted for or against FLOCK/ALPR cameras!!... and remind them they took an oath to uphold the Constitution, and that FLOCK systems and ALPRs violate the 4th amendment!

Few things trigger local elected officials more than telling them you oppose their property tax increases! 🤦♂️
But keep it up, because... THEY WORK FOR YOU!... and there's still time to stop property tax hikes!!
Call/email/tag on social media your school board, city council, and county commissioners and demand they CUT PROPERTY TAXES!!
Remind them that a vote for any tax rate above the "no new revenue rate" is a vote to RAISE PROPERTY TAXES!!!

Proud to be listed alongside Gov. #RonDeSantis as a “Republican critic of FLOCK/ALPRs!”
I’ve been filing bills to fight them for years, but “Republican” Speakers Phelan and Burrows have indefensibly blocked them… allowing warrantless surveillance.
Texas must not become a police state!!
From #Newsweek: "List of Recent Republican Critics:
-DeSantis
-Hawley
-U.S. Congressman Greg Steube of Florida
-Texas State Representative Brian Harrison
-South Carolina State Representative Thomas Beach"
