Harris County ends membership in TAC
On Tuesday, both Harvey Kronberg's Quorum Report and the Lone Star Times reported that Harris County Commissioners' Court voted to end Harris County's membership in the Texas Association of Counties.
Here's an excerpt from the update that Phil Magness supplied to Lone Star Times:
The word on the street is that one of the reasons they did it was the Williamson County lawsuit by our good friend David Rogers, ruling against counties using tax dollars for TAC’s political purposes…such as lobbying against the property tax caps.
Harris County was the largest member of TAC....
The Houston Chronicle, which devotes scant resources and attention to the Harris County beat, seems not to have reported on this move (but hey, the newspaper has a D.C. bureau!).
BLOGVERSATION: BoldTexas (Aside: Peggy Venable quoting herself in this blog post is amusing, in a Bob Dole, third-person referential sort of way).
