4 Points from TX Comptroller Glenn Hegar's "Dishonesty won’t fix property taxes"

In repsonse to a Trib Talk by Mike Collier, Texas Comptroller Hegar says:

  • Clear and honest look at Texas finances can be accomplished awith a revenue estiamte not geared toward a legislative session
  • Consider the state’s credit worthiness to avoid making property tax changes that impact a looming balance-sheet issue
  • “Gov. Greg Abbott, Lt. Gov. Patrick and members of the Legislature have worked to alleviate property taxes”
  • The Office of the Comptroller does not raise or lower appraisals, it only “ensure[s] appraisals are fair and accurate”
