Many Texans owe $0 in school property taxes...possibly for life | Y'all-itics: Nov. 19, 2023

Thanks to voters recently approving the tax relief constitutional amendment, many Texas homeowners owe $0 in school property taxes - possibly permanently!

The state will now pick up their tab and pay the schools. But in this episode, one of those taxpayers tells Y'all-itics that she's skeptical about the math and the motive. Is this a step toward defunding and undermining Texas public schools, she wonders. And even if that's not the aim, is this too good to be true? Can the state afford it in the long term? Can school districts? The Jasons put those questions to a superintendent of a fast-growing district and to the lawmaker who authored the tax changes.

Guests:
Pat Hill, Homeowner who owes $0 in school taxes
Texas Sen. Paul Bettencourt, (R) Houston
Dr. Justin Terry, Forney ISD Superintendent
