I read with interest Rich Sena’s article in the June 25 edition about Texas school funding. He provided pertinent information every citizen needs to understand about this issue and how property taxes affect funding.
In his article, he noted, in essence, that the Republican- controlled State Legislature and administration (the Governor, Lt. Governor and House Speaker) have failed to effectively deal with this issue during the current legislative session.
Interestingly enough, in the same edition of the paper was an article about Governor Abbott touting his signing of the Save Women’s Sports Act, which apparently a majority of the legislature and administration managed to agree on and shepherd through the legislative process. This law is directed at trans athletes to ensure they don’t play sports in a different gender from the one at which they were identified at birth. Trans individuals account for only 2% of the population and, like the rest of the population, not all of them play sports.
