Budget Committee Could Pave Way for Tax Hikes

📅 Scheduled Action

The board is discussing the creation of a “Budget Advisory Committee.” While presented as a way to involve the community, these committees can be used to rubber-stamp pre-determined spending increases and create political cover for raising property taxes.

Response

INVESTIGATE & INFLUENCE: Contact the Spring Branch ISD Board of Trustees (see district website for contact info). Ask for the proposed charter and member selection process for the ‘Budget Advisory Committee’ under Item 2.A. Urge them to appoint known fiscal conservatives and ensure the committee’s primary goal is to find savings and recommend the no-new-revenue tax rate.

💰 Impact: Future Tax Increases
