    ORDER REPRINT →

Send no more than 150 words with your name, address and phone number to letters@star-telegram.com. The deadline is Wednesday for publication next Monday.

The never-ending push to increase tax rates for schools

Reducing the cap on tax increases would help, but maybe it’s time for the taxing entities, especially the schools, to tighten their belts on expenditures just like we taxpayers do.
