Dear taxpayer:
Five San Antonio school districts are holding an election on November 6th with early voting starting October 22. The districts are San Antonio , Harlandale, Edgewood, Somerset , and Southside.
Please read the attached info from the San Antonio Independent School District website.
Voters are being told it is a tax "rollback" election. This is the most deceptive propaganda I have ever seen from a taxing authority.
In fact, it is a tax increase election to raise the tax rate from the state mandated $1.04 to $1.17 per hundred dollar valuation. This is a 13 cent tax hike, the largest property tax rate hike in memory!
Furthermore, the tax assessor-collector did not include school district taxes in the property tax bill recently mailed to taxpayers in these districts. As a result, many mistakenly believe they have received a significant tax cut.
I don’t expect much help from local media. So we must use the internet to get the truth out to unsuspecting voters.
Please pass this along to your email list. Also, contact your state senator and representative if possible.
It's time to fight back!
