Governor Greg Abbott and Lieutenant Governor Dan Patrick don't disagree on much, but they are in a full-on fight over property taxes. The Texas Trio looks at both plans and the jabs from two of the biggest figures in Texas politics.still deadlocked on the best approach to property tax cuts.
Next will come the inevitable second special legislative session called by a governor who wants action on a key priority — using the state’s windfall budget surplus to cut property taxes for Texans — in hopes of ending an impasse that outlasted the 140-day regular session and one period of extra time.
Abbott was so invested in property tax relief that he guaranteed a special session if the House and Senate couldn’t come to an agreement during the regular session. Mere hours after lawmakers wrapped up their biennial meeting in late May, Abbott called them back for a special session, directing them to focus on property tax cuts and harsher penalties for human smuggling.
But the bill got nowhere near his desk. The Senate, led by Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick and state Sen. Paul Bettencourt, R-Houston, pursued a plan that would raise the homestead exemption — directing a portion of the tax cuts to homeowners — and ignited a public intraparty fight rarely seen in Texas politics.
Patrick also attacked Phelan, saying he ran a "dysfunctional chamber" and accusing him of trying to benefit from the House’s property tax plan. Phelan is a real estate broker and partner in a real estate investment firm.
