HH Position: SUPPORT (Prop D conditional)

$0 rate increase through capacity growth methodology. Streets and public safety propositions are well-structured. Prop D housing allocation ($10M) is symbolic — demand measurable impact metrics and independent tracking.

Accountability Demands

  • Independent citizen oversight committee with quarterly public reporting
  • Prop D housing funds tracked separately with annual impact metrics
  • Geographic equity analysis published for all proposition spending

Tax Impact

Fort Worth plans to pay for bonds using growth in property values, not by raising your tax rate. The ballot will say 'TAX INCREASE' because state law requires that language for any new bond debt, even when the city does not plan to raise the rate.
