  1. I watch that this morning at dawn, drinking coffee at a picnic table, in the cool spring air of a park in downtown Omaha. Great way to start the day.
  2. Or for nothing, this Pastor reminds me of the old Protestant Evangelical pastors, preachers who weren’t afraid to come out with the rod and staff and even break the legs of their lambs if they had to in order to protect the flock.
  3. “Muhsociofactors” is probably the best twitter handle I’ve seen.
  4. That’s fair, and I agree - my point is simply that there’s nothing uniquely bad or good about TCAD in the context of a broken system, and that they deceptions of Matt Mackowiak and others like him, in addition to being dishonest, obscure that fact by framing it as an Austin/Travis county problem.
  5. That’s not a TCAD issue, that’s a function of how the state of Texas dupes people into thinking this is a low-tax state.
  6. My plan is to lose about 20-25 pounds by the election and work on a solid tanning base all summer so that I’ll be a hot rich person by November. I feel like if I can be a hot rich person everything will be OK.
  7. First, I’m glad. Second, however, I don’t want to do that work. I want to pay someone else to do it, on contingency like Lionel Hutz.
  8. Have you considereded Rolex’s sister brand, Tudor? Tudor is today what Rolex was 35 years ago- tool and sports watches of superb quality and value. If you want something more elegant, you might consider is a Cartier Tank Must. one more choice would be Grand Seiko, which is understated in the extreme- very few people will notice, but he’ll be wearing a watch that’s among the best watches in the world.
  9. That sucks but I want to make sure I follow - you argued your own case instead of hiring a professional tax protesting service?
  10. Compared to what? I’ve heard all this and I’m not sure what I’m supposed to be benchmarking against. For example, Walk me through how using market data to establish market values shady? What would “oversite” look like? I’m happy with the results of my many protests. Should I not be? Educate me, please. Every valuation in Austin proper I saw between 2015-2023 was low by 20-30k plus.mine was and I STILL got rewarded for the protest. No doubt some were wrong on the high side, and hopefully those people addressed it. Ive got a really simple question for yall: what evidence do you have that TCAD is overvaluing residential property at the district level and how is TCAD any worse from any other district besides the existence of KLBJ-AM? Wait until you hear about the criminal justice system!
  11. The clear implication of his campaign and post election meltdown has been that TCAD is routinely marking residential properties over market, which is nonsense. Yes, people with the funds to protest can do even better, I do, and you do too. That’s not a TCAD issue. we have a market. Markets set value.
  12. It would be quite a lot worse if they tried to go back to their own supply company.
  13. Looks like Matt Mackowiak knows as much about how property taxes work as he does about winning elections in Travis county- a very small amount, but not much. Or he’s fundamentally dishonest. You decide. Not sure what’s in it for the city either. They aren’t sending their best.
  14. I think Biden was probably offered a Benson & Hedges Menthol 100, tried it, and realized that indeed it is the Cadillac of cigarettes.
