Keep Up with the Status of Legal Challenges Filed Against Itasca ISD by Taxpayers
The legal challenges filed against Itasca ISD are moving forward and in the hands of federal investigators now. Below are references regarding the complaints filed against the Itasca ISD, Hill County Central Appraisal District and the Hill County Commissioners Court to date. While these documents provide details regarding the history and background of what has transpired since 2020 it does not list all of the information gathered. The federal complaints filed and charges being pursued by taxpayers are directly related to financial accountability regarding annual school budgets, proposed bond referendums and multiple lucrative tax abatements using what are known as Chapter 313 Agreements in Texas. Due to major pushback by taxpayers the Chapter 313 Agreement provision was allowed to expire in December of 2022, however legislators pulled a fast one on taxpayers and created the same provision under a new name: The Jobs, Energy, Technology and Innovation Act (JETI). The new provision allows incompetent and naive school officials to continue to subsidize big business on the backs of taxpayers by forfeiting billions of dollars of locally available tax revenues that could be used to relieve taxpayers and homeowners from skyrocketing school property taxes.
The legal challenges and federal complaints filed include the Itasca ISD and its board of trustees, the superintendent of schools serving since 2019, Hill County Central Appraisal District and the Hill County Commissioners Court. The legal arguments and challenges are based on multiple areas of the law and suppression of the rights of taxpayers in Hill County. The actions and decisions made by the named parties are related to fraud, corruption, racketeering and denial of due process for taxpayers. Taxpayers have been denied a voice and ignored by county and school officials in matters that have serious financial impact on them. School and County officials have by design, and a deliberate intent demonstrated a prejudice and bias towards property owners as recorded in the public record. School officials have failed to follow the rule of law in regard to treating all taxpayers within their taxing jurisdiction with uniform and equal application as demonstrated and recorded in the public record.
The latest steps being taking by taxpayers is to expose school districts for contributing to a very serious problem regarding environmental pollution and hazardous waste expanding in Hill County. Across the US and state of Texas there increasing numbers of stockpiles of abandoned wind turbine blades and solar panels that have been damaged or destroyed by storms. Wind turbine blades are routinely replaced, and the old blades are not environmentally friendly and easy to recycle due to questionable financial benefit and costs. School district officials have put themselves in the crosshairs of taxpayers who are exposing the environmental impacts from projects subsidized with Chapter 313 and JETI Agreements executed by school officials.
