Still $600 per pupil below2008.

2015 Legislative Agenda
Fund our schools!
Short term: $600 per pupil just to getback to 2008 levels!the state has more
than enough reserves built up to do it.
Long Term: New revenue from closinghuge loopholes and ending unjustifiedspecial-interest tax breaks.
Example: Tax break for natural-gasfracking wells, which are highly profitableand dont require tax breaks, diverts more
than $1 billion a year from state treasury.

!
$18,330 less per classroom of 30 students

2015 Legislative Agenda
Help our students succeed!
We want: Universal pre-K.
Funding restored to help struggling students meet stateachievement standards. Class-size caps that are enforced in K-4 and we want them in
pre-K and beyond grade 4, too. Properly certified teachers in every class. An end to the
misuse of standardized tests, use better measures to gaugesuccess, and end top-down, punitive sanctions.
Community schools with wraparound services, with parentsand education employees teaming up to set goals and
establish community-based accountability.

! Remaining "is sent to State Highway Fund ($2.4
billion in 2014)
Proposal:
8/9/2019 2015 UMW Monday Slides
44/128
Proposal:
End Gasoline Tax Diversion
Highway Fund is to be used for acquiring rights-of-way,constructing, maintaining, and policing such public
roadways, and for the administration of such laws as maybe prescribed by the Legislature pertaining to the
supervision of traffic and safety on such roads

45/128
Proposal:
8/9/2019 2015 UMW Monday Slides
46/128
Proposal:
End Gasoline Tax Diversion
! Argument for: Gasoline tax should be used only to
build and maintain roads
! But: To continue funding DPS etc, must use General
Revenue that is currently funding other services

Proposal: Use Motor Vehicles Sale Tax
for Highways
!
Sen. Nichols has proposed constitutional amendmentto dedicate all motor-vehicle sales tax over $2.5 billion

! Would redirect $4-6 billion a biennium from General
Revenue to TXDoT.

Proposal: Use Motor Vehicles Sale Tax
for Highways
! Argument for: Motor vehicle sales tax is paid by carbuyers, so should be used to build and maintain roads
! But: How to fund services that are now paid for with
General Revenue from motor vehicle sales tax
Proposal: Repeal or Reduce
8/9/2019 2015 UMW Monday Slides
49/128
Proposal: Repeal or Reduce
Franchise (Margins) Tax
Arguments for:
!
Franchise tax is difficult to calculate
!
Businesses owe tax even if dont make profit
! At least raise small-business exemption from current $1
million to $5 million
! At least maintain temporary rate cut
Proposal: Repeal or Reduce
8/9/2019 2015 UMW Monday Slides
50/128
Proposal: Repeal or Reduce
Franchise (Margins) Tax
But:
!
Franchise tax will generate $9.6 billion in nextbiennium
! Money goes to General Revenue and Property Tax
Relief Fund
! Would increase pressure to cut services
Proposal:
8/9/2019 2015 UMW Monday Slides
51/128
Proposal:
Lower the Appraisal Cap
! Current law: Taxable value of homestead cannot
increase by more than 10% a year
! Intended to prevent sticker shock in property tax bills
Proposal:
8/9/2019 2015 UMW Monday Slides
52/128
Proposal:
Lower the Appraisal Cap
! Proposal: Lower cap on annual increases from current10% to 5%
! Argument for: Rapid appreciation of property values
are raising taxes on homeowners faster than their
ability to pay them.
Proposal:
8/9/2019 2015 UMW Monday Slides
53/128
Proposal:
Lower the Appraisal Cap
But:
!
Benefit of lower cap would go to higher-value homes,
which appreciate fastest
! Protection of homeowners shifts burden onto renters,
businesses
!
Issue is really local tax rates, not appraisals
P l L R llb k
8/9/2019 2015 UMW Monday Slides
54/128
Proposal: Lower Rollback
Rate
Current law:
Cities/counties must calculate effective tax rate that
raises same amount of money as prior year. If
property values are up, tax rate goes down
If cities/counties raise effective tax rate by more
than 8%, voters can petition to rollback tax rate
Proposal: Lo er Rollback
8/9/2019 2015 UMW Monday Slides
55/128
Proposal: Lower Rollback
Rate
Proposal:
Lower rollback rate from 8% to 4%
Make rollback election automatic, without need topetition
P l L R llb k
8/9/2019 2015 UMW Monday Slides
56/128
Proposal: Lower Rollback
RateBut:
State is pushing responsibility for funding services onto
local governments
Proposed changes would make it harder for cities/

"I am particularly anxious that the new Social Security Legislation
just enacted, for which we have worked so long, providing for old
age pensions, aid for crippled children and unemployment
insurance, shall be carried out in keeping with the high purposes
with which this law was enacted. Your high calling brings you into
intimate daily contact not only with your own parishioners, but
with people generally in your community.
I am sure you see the problems of yourpeople with wise and sympatheticunderstanding."

UMW Legislative Agenda 2015
! Healthy Texas
! We urge the Legislature to advance policies for affordablehealthcare, including mental health and preventive health
services, for the broadest possible number of Texans. Thisshould include providing affordable insurance for workingTexans, and expanding Medicaid and other existing low-income programs. We affirm our particular and historicconcern for the health of women and children. Wecommend to lawmakers the role that social determinants,
especially access to affordable, healthy food and familyfinancial stability, play in health, and call on lawmakers toconsider comprehensive health solutions.

! Quality Education
! The Legislature should affirm its constitutional obligation toprovide high quality public education for the benefit of all
children in our state. Critical legislative actions includerestoring all cuts made in the last decade, providing statefunding for enrollment growth, increasing teachercompensation to competitive levels, and providing full-daypre-kindergarten in all school districts. We strongly reaffirmour historic opposition to any movement toward allowing
the flow of public money to private schools, including theestablishment of any voucher programs.

We urge lawmakers to prioritize our states water
infrastructure investments around the primary principleof fair access to clean water for all Texans, and to take
strong action to protect Texans from potential threats
to the air, land and water that we rely on to live. We
affirm the inherent worth of all creation and call on
lawmakers to protect all of Texas natural resources.

We advocate for fair, humane policies toward
immigrants in Texas, including access to necessarystate permits (including drivers permits) and regulatory

!
We call on legislators to guarantee fair treatment for all
Texans caught up in the states criminal justice system,from arrest to re-entry. We have particular concerns

benefits for former drug felons.
