Perry resisted creating a Texas state income tax and sales tax increases, protected the state's "Rainy Day fund", balanced the state budget as required by state law, and was reelected on a platform to reduce property taxes that exploded with the inflation of property values in the late 1990s and the 21st century. However, shortly after taking office, he backed down from the reduction of residential property taxes. In early 2006 Perry angered some fiscal conservatives in his own party by supporting an increase in the state franchise tax alongside a property tax reform bill. Many organizations within the Republican Party itself condemned Perry's tax bill, HB-3, and likened it to a "back door" state income tax.[16] Perry claimed in a statewide advertising campaign that the bill would save the average taxpayer $2,000 in property taxes. Critics contended that Perry inflated these numbers. The actual tax savings, they said, would average only $150 per family." It looks like he's got a mixed record, but has been responsible for raising some taxes.

Property Taxes in Texas are such a varied lot. Not only do you pay the County, the City(if you live in a City), the community College district,the Hospital District(if you county has one), the Local School district that your residence is in and so on. Even with all that, It keeps the Law firms that deal with Property Taxes are big business. Besides, Property Taxes are things Done by Appraisal Districts like the infamous Bexar Appraisal District(use to be BAD but now is BCAD). but I get universally rejected when I type out.

I've had my issues with Perry but I can tell you for a fact, he carried us through the early nineties and the budget shortfalls that resulted from the recession...and he did it by cutting spending....NOT raising taxes. and look at Texas now...we're by far the healthiest state in the union and I'm actually excited about the economic outlook for San Antonio coming up since Toyota is expanding here, Texas A&M is building a new campus, Caterpillar Industries is moving here, Microsoft and other major corporations are moving here. We're looking really good for the future thanks in large part to Rick Perry... Maybe you should educate yourself before you open your pie hole...maybe you won't look so silly after you're done spewing your drivel here! and it’s a hard thing to miss when you write a check for your property taxes twice a year….

Yeah right. I think your a mouthpiece for some of the RINO in the Ledge, like Joe Strauss or Jeff Wentworth. Yeah, stick to dealing with New Hampshire and leave the looking for RINO here in Texas to those of us that are here. I take it a “So called” Republican from New Hampshire knows more than we do.
