Texas PolicyCast: Abolishing the school property tax
Because of the substantial burden imposed by property taxes, the lack of a rational link between school property taxes and educational services, and the constitutional complexities surrounding the school property tax, many believe it is time to eliminate property taxes altogether. One of them is State Rep. Phil King of Weatherford, who has filed House Joint Resolution 97, which would abolish the maintenance and operations school property tax by 2014 and force the legislature to find a fairer method to pay for public schools. He discusses his proposal with us this week.

Fairer as in "doesn't tax people who don't have kids"? I'll believe it when I see it.
