They are getting what they voted for.

Wonderful.

As we noted last week here on KTRH, normally anything above a 3.5% increase must be approved by the voters. But the local Democrats are using a loophole that allows the County to bypass the people when there is an emergency, which we had with Hurricane Beryl.

"The problem is, you have a leftist progressive majority Harris County Court" Bettencourt told KTRH, "They have never met a tax increase that they're not going to like, and try to put on the taxpayers. And this one is the largest tax increase that you can have in the county."

Nope. We the minority conservatives in the Houston metroplex are getting what the dimocrat majority voted for...or maybe didn't even have to. Harris County was one of the largest in the nation to have suspect voting irregularities both in 2020 and 2022.

Those in power have a totally insatiable appetite for more money to waste on their pet projects and cronies!

Greedy bastards.

My friend that works off shore just got home today from the hitch from hell. He's bitching about he's about had it. So I sent him a link to the tax increase and told him to suck it and work hard as the free shit arm of Houston is counting on him

Another example of taxation without representation. Where is Ken Paxton or Greg Abbott? This crap needs to be brought to their attention.

Don't live there, and then you won't have to deal with it.

Anyone one's goal while living in Harris County should be to get the hell out of Harris County...........

What do you expect from Dems?

you may not have voted for it, but Harris county was a liberal county before 2020, and this seems to be what the majority of voters there want. I also don’t see Harris county residents rising up to get rid of Dora or anyone else.

So glad I moved to Nacogdoches in 1991. I graduated from North Shore HS and lived in the Atascocita and Kingwood areas when they were still nice. Harris County was a decent place to live in the 80's but friends and family still living there say it's terrible for many reasons and property taxes are lower down on that list.

State law says no increase abve 10% without voter approval. A law approved by voters!

I read the article again and it says the city of Houston is going to raise property taxes soon.
