When asked if he supports it personally, Phelan said, 'No, I don't think it's proper use of taxpayers' dollars.'
– Texas House Speaker Dade Phelan didn't mince his words about the $3.3 million Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton has agreed to pay four of his former top staffers toCourt documents show the four men and others went to the FBI more than two years ago and made allegations of bribery against Paxton, who later fired them and called them"rogue employees."
When asked if he supports it personally, Phelan said,"No, I don't think it's proper use of taxpayers' dollars."We reached out to the Attorney General's office seeking comment but we didn't receive a statement. Property tax relief is a priority, and Phelan said he wants to address what he calls runaway property appraisals and the fact that the taxable value of your home can go up by as much as 10% a year.
