Dear Sir or Madam:
Like Congressman Smith, I live in the Alamo Heights ISD. As
you may know, the AHISD has proposed increasing the district's tax rate for maintenance and
operations from $1.04 to $1.06 per $100 valuation and bumping the overall tax
rate from $1.198 to $1.218 per $100 valuation. This proposed increase is
subject to a Tax Ratification Election (TRE) to be held this Saturday, September
15 You can find more information on the tax hike and TRE at http://www.ahisd.net/about/tre.html.
Does
Congressman Smith support or oppose this tax increase? I understand this is not
a national issue. However, I do believe this is an important and relevant
question for the Congressman. It bears on his views and positions with respect
to both education and taxation. Thank you in advance for providing a
substantive answer to this question.
Regards,
