It's no coincidence the the maps of both coincide with Democratic controlled metropolitan areas.
In Houston, we have a crony liberal mayor who has ex law firm partners that got a lot of grant money after hurricane Harvey.
Why a law firm would need federal grant money for a natural disaster is beyond me.
Since that money was allocated for the poorer in the community who were wiped out by the storm, it proves once again that when the liberals run things, the rich get richer (especially if they are liberals) and the poor get poorer.
Now, the are trying to sneak in a property tax hike before the new state law limiting the rates one can increase such taxes, goes into effect.
Some other former law firms that the Mayor favors needs more money from the city, I suppose.
A nice little tax that liberals will say only effect the "rich" land owners.
Who gets hit hardest are the people who can't afford to buy, but rent instead.
The landlords just increase their rent to pay the property taxes.
