AUSTIN, Texas --The Texas House and Senate are at, what looks like, a stalemate over how to lower taxes. And Tuesday, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick challenged Gov. Greg Abbott to a debate about it.
"I am not arguing with the governor," he said. "We'll go on and fight another day, and we'll be aligned more likely than we're not. The same way with the House. But we're not going to back up on this, and if the governor disagrees, then I am open next Monday and Tuesday to a Lincoln-Douglas debate - 45 minutes ought to get it done."
"The Senate's plan, the Texas two-step, gives a lot more savings to the average homeowner, and that's 5.72 million homeowners across the state," Bettencourt told ABC13."The Texas Senate is the only chamber that has not passed property tax reform and border security legislation in a way that is germane to Gov. Abbott's special session call. The House has passed the largest property tax cut in state history three times this year.
