Many districts will raise your taxes in ANTICIPATION of selling bonds. Katy knew they would get the issue passed once they changed some issues with the previous bond package.

 

So they can say the bonds will not raise taxes because they have already been raised.

 

Believe me, they are high enough already.  The state caps the maximum amount of taxes a district can levy at 1.55 per thousand, and I am pretty sure that Katy is maxed out.

In two years Katy will be bigger than the city of Pittsburg. It's not the one horse town it used to be and many still think it is. HS #8 is on the way and several kids now are sitting in portable units outside of the HS...this was needed. Animosity between the North and South sides of I-10 kept it from passing the first time.

The city of Katy is only 16K.  But KISD is big with the completion of the Grand Parkway from I-10 north to 290 along with the 3K of students every year, it's necessary.  Everybody but Humble and LCISD with 5 or more HS has at least 2 stadiums......

If porter/new caney can get that beautiful stadium then katy should get what ever stadium they want

I dont think it was the stadium that had them upset.  It was the price of the stadium.  As nice as NCISD stadium is it was only about 30 million where i hear KISD is spending 58 million

Not the price......location and many wanted it as a seperate bond. Also, costs go up...the longer they waited...the higher the price goes. And again..Animosity towards Katy HS has a LOT to do with it....from having to remove the color "Red" from the KATY ISD logo at midfield at Rhodes stadium...to signs like these around town, The stadium is for 8 HS's...yet opponents are/were calling it a stadium for the Katy Tigers.

The property value assets in Katy ISD must be TREMENDOUS!!!  Cinco Ranch probably has more taxable property value than the entire city of Detroit.

 

I am sure ALL the new $500,000 plus homes being built are adding to the coffers so the taxes didn't have to be raised.

 

It is just incredible to see all the new neighborhoods on the west side of Houston spring up with houses $400,000 plus being built.  Simply amazing.

Not just Cinco Ranch,  but Cross Creek Ranch (where one of the new elementary schools will go)  Firethorne is still building, Willow Creek Farms is still building, and the new Anserra  and Raintree editions opening up.   They already have over 60K students in the district and are projecting over 90K in a few years.

      Threat to democracy?

      By thetragichippy · Posted

      I think you are and here is why. She is still the VP - It is going to be difficult to support Biden's policies that got us where we are at (border/inflation, etc) and run a campaign who message needs to be change.  How are we going to fix something if we don't change.  How can she change a policy she currently has to support. Also, Supreme Court reform and Presidential immunity is impossible for several reasons, but mainly Biden is a lame duck now and he does not have near the votes to make that change......not even including the separation of powers....Want to see how Kamala handles those questions in a debate...... Likeability - No one liked her before the media played her up. She was polling at 1% before she dropped out in 2020. Today she is being hyped up by the lefty media, and it is working, but the more she talks, the more people will be reminded of who she really is.  Accomplishments: Besides the title of VP, what can she add to her resume in 2024 versus her resume in 2020? "I screwed up the border"

      My honest take at this snapshot in time… Kamala will win as long as nothing disastrous happens. The Democrat Machine is hitting on all cylinders right now. I pray that I’m wrong.

      The fast food minimum wage effect: higher prices, reduced hours

      By LumRaiderFan · Posted

      This is the hidden content, please Sign In or Sign Up Just one more reason democrats should never be in charge of anything...all this because some fools think minimum wage jobs are supposed to support a family. From the article: After California implemented a new law boosting the minimum wage for fast-food workers earlier this year, a majority of restaurants increased prices and cut employee hours, according to a recent report from the Employment Policies Institute.  Some are considering expanding outside the state now more than ever. Since April, when the law took effect, 98% of restaurants surveyed said they have already raised the cost of menu items, and 93% plan to do so next year. Additionally, 89% reported already reducing the number of employee hours, and 87% plan to do so next year.  According to the survey, 70% of eateries already had to make staff cuts or consolidate positions. Even more, 74%, plan to do so in the coming year, the survey showed.

      I guess that is why it is not a tight race and Biden didn't have to be replaced with someone that MIGHT win...... And the latest 538 poll shows Trump +4.......lol
