Texas Standard For February 1, 2019
The harmonic convergence at the state Capitol: Texas’ top three power brokers get on the same page over property taxes. But something’s missing. Ross Ramsey of the Texas Tribune on the missing link between efforts to limit property taxes while promising to boost education. Which is largely paid for by – property taxes. And: A look at the week that was in politics and a cautionary tale for those demanding more made in America goods: the case of the Texas-made-Mac, that didn’t take off. All those stories plus a whole lot more.
