Save Texas Reps » Democrats Develop School Finance Plan: "While the Republican leadership in Texas received a pretty consistant “F” from voters, Texas Democrats were working hard to come up with a plan to finance Texas schools.
On the hottest partisan issue of the legislative session, House Democrats this session offered more traditional minority party opposition than in 2003. Democrats criticized the Republican-led “Roadmap to Results” school finance plan for not doing enough for education or average taxpayers and crafted a plan that emphasized their goals.
Democrats said their plan offered more money, some of the same reforms and a smaller overall property tax cut that gave the largest tax cuts to owners of less expensive property, by tripling the homeowner’s exemption on taxes to $45,000."
