Opposition grows to SB 7 funding plan in Texas schools
Bivins favors less reliance on property taxes but warns of a potential revolt if state funding remains insufficient. He critiques replacing property tax revenue with lottery funds, noting taxes raise about 8.5 billion annually versus 600 million from lottery. ECISD Trustee Jim Nelson backs shared funding but rejects abolishing property taxes. The debate spans tax abatements, mandates reimbursements, private school vouchers, abstinence education, and miscellaneous school-law tweaks.
