Lt. Gov. Patrick say House should 'get their butts back in Austin'
“It’s not true,” said Patrick, adding that his proposal offered deeper tax breaks for homeowners. “Both the House and the Senate have $17.6 billion their budget for a tax cut. The difference is that in the Senate we’re looking out for homeowners.
A giant share of the state’s $32.7 billion budget surplus would be eaten up by the tax reduction packages, which touched off months of political feuding between the GOP-controlled House and Senate and Gov. Greg Abbott, a Republican. If the House’s proposal doesn’t match the Senate’s promise for saving, “there will be no property tax cuts for businesses,” Patrick said.
At the time, Phelan said on Twitter that the Texas House “overwhelmingly passed legislation that would lead to the largest tax cut in state history.”Lawmakers entered this year’s legislative session promising billions in tax cuts, but the two chambers disagreed on how it should be done. Phelan has pushed to slash the state’s home appraisal cap and extend it to businesses and rentals. Patrick wants to raise the amount homeowners can trim off the taxable value of their homes.
