This does not change my mind that I am voting against the Bond issue. If I have extra money, I want to use it to protect our teachers from the MAGA onslaught to academic freedom. The day our teachers lose academic freedom will mean an irreparable injury to our children. I say not one extra penny to the BISD until they guarantee the academic freedom of our teachers. The teachers have enough problems without having to work under a MAGA curriculum.
THE ISSUE OF SENIORS HAVING TO PAY SCHOOL DISTRICT TAXES IS OLDER THAN ME
You cannot win an issue if you do not know the demographics of the voters you need on your side. Key groups are seniors and taxpayers without children in the district. These two groups if organized can defeat the Bond issue.
Where Cata falls apart is, she laments the state wants to reduce the school taxes for seniors and the disabled. By age 65 seniors are fed up with paying school taxes. They have paid for 40 years and in many cases 20+ years after their children left the BISD.
Cata wants to deny seniors the proposed discount so that her sons can better afford a home. First of all, if BISD taxes are the reason you cannot afford a home; you are not even in play to buy a home. A thirty-year-old can seek a better job or get a second job. I did, so why can her sons not do the same? How selfish: tax the elderly so he 30-something sons can get a tax discount.
Once you have been paying school taxes for 40 years, long after your children have left the district, I think it is selfish Cata wants these seniors to continue paying higher taxes so her sons might be able to afford a home.
Cata, be a parent and tell your sons to get a better education so they can afford a home.
