Proposition 1 is not a Republican vs Democrat issue.  It is not a Conservative vs Liberal issue.  It is an issue about what is good public policy for the City of Houston for the next (at least) forty years.  In this radio ad which started on the air today, Council Members Jolanda Jones, C. O. Bradford, Wanda Adams and Jarvis Johnson joined with the "Tax Man" Paul Bettencourt to express opposition to Proposition 1 because it is a poorly conceived program with little if any protection for taxpayers who are already stretched too thin financially.

This "Rain Tax" will negatively affect every homeowner, business, church, school, hospital and other charity in the City of Houston causing some people to pay this tax multiple times through their churches and schools.   Read more »

"You can't do indirectly what the law says you can't do directly" by calling this new TAX a FEE!  That's what one moral and law-abiding pastor respectfully retorts (VIDEO) after "Renew Houston" and Proposition 1 special interest promoter Bob Jones proclaimed, "... your churches will fail" if Proposition 1 is not passed. The attendees didn't buy it and instead blew the whistle on more special interest spending at the recent Houston Pastors luncheon addressing Proposition 1.  Mr. Jones, co-founder of civil engineer law firm Jones & Carter, tried to persuade pastors their "churches would fail" if massive new fee-and-spend scheme "Proposition 1" doesn't pass on Tuesday, Nov. 2 at the polls.  Bob Jones substituted for City Councilman Stephen Costello, a civil engineer and promoter of the proposed fee, spending and government expansion of Renew Houston. 

The media guys at StopPROP1.com have rolled out another great video showing what a MONSTER Houston's Proposition 1 will be. The "Rain Tax" that will be imposed on every person, business, church, school, hospital and charitable organization in Houston will be a monstrous growth of city government. It is an Obama/Pelosi style proposition that hides all the details until after the proposition passes.   Read more »

Houston's KHOU (CBS 11) reports the money behind the scenes of Proposition 1 which voters will be asked to approve on the November 2nd ballot. It raises questions about the financing behind the campaign showing huge special interest engineering firms behind the program that will give them a blank check for the next 40 years from the City of Houston.

The No Rain Tax PAC rolled out its new media campaign to StopPROP1.  The brief infomercial takes a humorous look at how this radical proposition came to be.  It enforces the point that Proposition 1 promotes a new onerous "fee" that will negatively impact all Houstonians including residents, businesses, churches, hospitals, schools and your favorite charities.    Read more »

A sequel is rarely as good as the original story. In the case of the once proposed Houston Rain Tax, the sequel recently announced by Houston City Council is a nightmare waiting to be unleashed on all residents of Houston. The new proposal will appear on the November 2nd Ballot for Houston voters as Proposition 1 and is backed by a well-financed group called Renew Houston. Their proposal calls for the creation of a dedicated street and drainage fund. Sound great, right?   Read more »
