Sarpalius Amendment on Texas property tax and ballots
Senator Bill Sarpalius presents Amendment No 1 urging voters to decide on repealing the constitutional property tax funding for Texas higher education. The debate centers on whether to maintain a dedicated fund and tax at 10 cents per 100 assessed value or reduce and possibly repeal it, affecting universities like Texas Tech and West Texas State. Voters are asked to send views to Senator Sarpalius in Austin.
