Texas Gov. Abbott says he will freeze property tax rates of cities that defund their police by about 19 hours ago

Texas Gov. Greg Abbott warned that he would freeze property tax rates of any city that would defund its police force, a policy that has been advocated by supporters of the Black Lives Matter movement.

Abbott made the suggestion during a news conference Tuesday when he excoriated the Austin City Council for partly defunding its police force.

“When crime is on the rise, the last thing we should do is defund law enforcement — and yet that is exactly what the City of Austin did,” Abbott said. “Defunding police puts residents in danger and it invites lawlessness into our communities.”

The Austin City Council voted to reduce the funding for its police force by a third, about $150 million, and to reinvest that money in social services. Among those services are violence prevention programs, food access, and increased access to abortion.

Abbott reiterated his plan in a tweet from his official social media account.

“Under my plan any city that defunds police will have their property tax revenue capped at current levels. Cities can’t cut law enforcement [and] then turn around and increase taxes on the residents they just endangered,” tweeted Abbott.

Abbott noted that crime has increased in Austin and the reduced police force will likely worsen the situation for residents.

“Just because there is an act, or many acts committed by law enforcement does not mean that we reduce law enforcement,” Abbott said.

Austin mayor responds

Austin Mayor Steve Adler responded to the media briefing from Abbott and denied that the city was crippling law enforcement or endangering its citizens.

“The press conference today was not about facts. It presented no data. It was about trying to make us scared,” said Adler.

He also explained that only $20 million was being defunded directly from the police department, while the rest of the redirected funds would not result in a reduction of law enforcement response. He also argued that Austin’s murder rate was comparatively low, even if it had seen a recent drastic increase.

Here’s a local news video about his plan:

Seems a strange idea -- does he have legal power to do this? I'd give anything for a property tax freeze.

And Houston has a jew mayor? YUK. But so does Charleston -- it's everywhere.

Yeah, sounds like a reward to residence for defunding, but city councils wouldn't like that.

And does he have the power to do that? A rather obvious question.

Another layer of fraud for the collection. They'll say anything they think will keep the sheeple quiet for another short while, no matter how idiotic.

Houston's got a blue-gum mayor, Austin has the NYC-jew mayor with his openly sodomite city manager from Minneapolis. We're phukked.

The kikes could take every office in the fedgov, every governor and mayor job and declare ameriKa officially Israel West...... and the sheeple still wouldn't notice or question kike supremacy.

Both of my dear parents had jew addictions -- even to covert jews like Marianne Williamson.

I looked her up.

I see she was Oprah's spiritual advisor. ;)

One time Oprah had as a guest a member of the KKK.

He said, "We don't burn the cross, we light it to show that Jesus is alive in the world today." ;)

And I'm sure she said "Why isn't that nice! Come to think of it, I haven't heard of the Klan doing any wrong in 50 years. I think I like it -- Jesus Christ is Lord, and if they acknowledge him as our sovereign and saviour they're OK with me!"

The only good thing Whoopi Goldberg ever did was interview Tom Metzger on TV. It was extremely calm, low-key and normal -- no idea why she did it, a shame the rest of her is so horrible.

How many blacks are the KKK supposed to have murdered in the last 50 years, a half a dozen or so? According to FBI crime stats, blacks murdered 2600 blacks in the US in 2018. Over 100,000 in the last 50 years?

Quite possibly. Jared Taylor and Paul Kersey are covering such facts and stats in great podcasts at

Black on black crime is indeed the worst part of it all.

I worked with a black guy on state highways. We had the exact same birthdays.

One time he got busted and went to jail. A month latter the same thing happened to me. What's up with that? :-/
