WARNING (LEVEL 7)

Taxpayer-Funded Lobbying Dues Hidden in Financials

The district’s September financial report includes at least $20,187 in payments to organizations that lobby the Texas Legislature, including the Texas Association of School Boards (TASB) and the Texas Association of School Administrators (TASA). These groups use local property tax dollars to lobby against taxpayer interests like property tax relief, parental rights, and educational freedom.

Response

This is an ‘Information Only’ item, so there is no vote, but the Board needs to hear from you. Contact the Tornillo ISD Board (see the Official Agenda link for contact details): ‘Item 7.A’s financial report reveals over $20,000 in payments to lobbying groups like TASB. Stop using our property tax dollars to lobby against taxpayers and withdraw from these organizations.’
