Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick is not giving up when it comes to the increased homestead exemption in the Senate bill for property tax relief.
is not giving up when it comes to the increased homestead exemption in the Senate bill for property tax relief.
“I am not taking $1,000 away from the average senior, $15,000 or $20,000, depending on how long they have their home. And I'm not taking $25,000 or so from people under 65. I am not going to do it. Hell will freeze over before I will do that,” said Patrick. Another issue facing lawmakers is using state money for private school costs. A bill has already passed the Senate providing roughly $8,000 for families to choose their own schools. Patrick says public schools will still get the money for a student who leaves for five years.
The bill remains uncertain in the House. House lawmakers have passed an amendment prohibiting state money for any voucher-type program.
