A brief radio interview in which HURST-EULESS-BEDFORD ISD board member Chris Brown explained a district-called voter-approved tax rate election (VATRE), the ballot proposition to raise the homestead exemption, and how the proposals would affect district revenue and typical homeowner tax bills. Brown described the VATRE as a 3¢ increase in the maintenance-and-operations rate that would generate roughly $12 million annually and said the funds would pay for ongoing staff and student programs rather than capital projects. He contrasted the VATRE with a recent bond election and encouraged listeners to attend upcoming community nights for more information.
