It has been a battle in Houston and really need that third win. They'll have to dig deep on the road.

It was good but too dark to follow well.

FIFY

I could handle listening to Hillary read the report if she was gargling the Ebola virus while reading.

I'm rooting for the Nederland bond to pass. The recent appraisal values could be a killer.

Providing humanitarian support is the Christian thing to do.

Once programs like education and energy are established it is very hard to revert back. The same is even so for social security. It was never intended to be mandatory or a primary retirement income but that's where it is.

Cowboys use their top pick on a risky player. We'll see if the gamble pays off.

I would have no problem eliminating either of these. However, would you also propose eliminating the funding of each that goes to each state? If so, how would that affect each state? If not, how would we managed the allocations?

Wow

Going with his teammate Murray

I agree. Twenty years is not fair to the family.

Speaking of schools and parents. [Hidden Content]

I think that's illegal.

The state regularly changes education requirements which affects facility needs. The teacher to student ration requirements have changed over the year resulting in more space needed. Additional required special needs or programs also contribute to the need for more space. It's not always about population growth.

You expressed concern over raising taxes. Are you in favor of the second proposition for only athletic improvements that will have virtually no affect on your taxes? 156 mil is a lot of money but construction costs are well over $200 a sq ft right now and not sign of stopping, much more than when the last failed bond was proposed. The prices are not going down anytime soon.

I've wondered about this. The US push has never been stronger to keep illegals out and we have the biggest waves ever coming to the border. It didn't add up.

I stand corrected on the direction you were referring to. However, it's still speculation on yours or who else's value actually goes up. Non of which is the cause of the school bond. So in reality, if your property value goes up it will be where it should be and you will be paying what you should have been paying all along? Of course I'm just messing with you. We had the same scenario in our district years ago. Property value and tax increase statements came out just before our bond election and it was a bond killer.

I pointed it out with clarity. And no, it's too soon to say for certain what the state will do until legislation is over. Even then, there's no way to project the true affect just like there's no way to project city or county tax increases. All these non bond related increases are hypothetical at this point.

I have a feeling insanity will come into play.

More twisting propaganda. The district is not hiding anything. They are providing projected tax increases directly tied to the bond passing. If the state causes home values to go up your taxes will increase regardless of the bond passing. While that would be an additional increase on your total tax cost it has nothing to do with the bond. Your reasoning is the same as trying tie city and county tax increases or home owners insurance increases to the bond increases. No dispute that all these things would raise your cost but none of them are caused by the bond.

Not even similar so why post propaganda?

I think it makes perfectly good sense to trust those that have first hand knowledge and those that spent so much time researching and evaluating the district needs rather than someone that doesn't even have a vested interest.By the same token, I will trust your decision regarding your finances and your personal tax burden.
