Yes Trasa Cobern Voted to Raise Taxes

Yes Trasa Voted to Raise Taxes


For those who do not know, Trasa Robertson Cobern is the RINO member of the Hurst City Council who Tim O'Hare, the Tarrant County Republican Party Chair, has recently appointed to chair the Tarrant County GOP Outreach Committee.

In an email sent out by Trasa to Tarrant County Precinct Chairs today, Trasa claimed:



This claim by Trasa is to say the least apocryphal, and to say the most, wildly inaccurate.

In 2016 Tarrant County Property values went up by about 12 percent.  On Sept 13 and 27, 2016, Trasa voted yes on both the first and second readings on a tax *rate* that was 2.2 cents lower per $100 than the previous year.  So property values increased by 12% but Trasa voted to lower the *rate* by a fraction of a percent, meaning that this was actually a tax increase. She also voted in favor of a 6.7 percent "increase in the tax rate."

In the video below Trasa can be heard making the motion
 
The effective tax rate from the ordinance 
for which Trasa voted in favor
 was an increase of nearly 8% !




Wake up my fellow Executive Committee Members.  
We are being lied to!
