talkpoliticsTexas property tax bill excludes divorced, LGBTQ couples from getting relief
"A new Texas House bill that provides property tax relief based on the size of a family excludes LGBTQ couples and divorced parents with children, among other parties, from getting the tax advantage."
My first thought, after reading this was, OMG. Some Catholic from 150 years ago is determined to impose his outrageous beliefs on everyone who owns a house in Texas. The proposed bill says that no couple where at least one person has been divorced and even remarried nor LBGT couples, married or not, may get relief from Texas' property tax.
To get the relief, a married couple (first and only marriage) can get relief, and the amount of relief increases with the number of children the couple has - ten children and they pay nothing in property taxes.
How can people like this even get elected or even get enough support to even run for public office? Of course, the sponsor of the bill is a Republican from Texas, so that should explain it - at least it would if this was the 1800's.
