Trasa Robertson Cobern has been running for Tarrant County Tax Assessor-Collector claiming that she lowered Taxes as a member of the Hurst City Counsel!  In 2016 Tarrant County Property values went up by about 12 percent.  On Sept 13 and 27, 2016, Trasa Robertson Cobern 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."

Now Tax Raising Trasa wants to be the Tarrant County Tax Assessor-Collector!
