Gilbert Santana of Baytown argues that Goose Creek CISD exemptions, now $50 000 for over 65 or disabled, compare favorably with state minima and Houston area districts. He notes GCCISD’s 10 percent all homesteads and 40 000 over 65 option, asserts bond funding supports community needs without raising taxes, and defends district against critics.
