Midlothian commentator Tom Dodge has a pretty funny piece (with ample references to the D story) that KERA aired this morning – funny if you’re not a) working for TXI, or b) paying Robin Hood for poor little Midlothian.
Key sentence:
But taking the TXI property tax would make Midlothian a rich district and therefore ineligible for the free money flying in from other rich districts who weren’t slick enough to come up with their own TIRZ. In fact it would have to pay out Robin Hood money to poor districts.
