Taxpayer Funds Spent at Lobbying Conference
The board is reporting on their attendance at the TASA/TASB conference. These organizations lobby the Texas Legislature against taxpayer interests, such as property tax relief and parental rights, using public funds from school districts like this one.
Response
DEMAND TRANSPARENCY: Contact the Board (verify contact info on the district website) and ask: ‘Regarding Item VII.A, how much in taxpayer funds was spent on dues, fees, and travel for the TASA/TASB conference? It is time for Aransas Pass ISD to withdraw from organizations that lobby against taxpayers.’
💰 Impact: Undisclosed Lobbying Fees
