DC: Texas Democratic gubernatorial candidate and former Dallas County Sheriff Lupe Valdez is blaming sitting Gov. Greg Abbott for the fact that she owes some $12,000 in overdue property taxes. Valdez, in a statement delivered by campaign spokesman Juan Bautista Dominguez, claimed that Abbott is responsible for the high property taxes in Texas.
“As we’ve been saying all along, under Greg Abbott’s failed leadership, property taxes are unpredictable and burdensome for Texans everywhere, including Sheriff Lupe Valdez. Sheriff Valdez has an agreement with the counties to payoff 2017 property taxes and plans to do so entirely in the coming months.”
According to online property tax records reviewed by mySanAntonio.com, Valdez owns or has an interest in some 15 properties, and has taxes that are considered delinquent on seven of them. County records show that Valdez has been making payments, but if they are not paid in full by July, the state will send them to a collection agency. more here
If this dumb ass doesn’t have a clue that the governor has no authority over a county’s property tax rates, she needs to stay away from running for ANY position.
yeah, that’s it! blame someone else (pick a Republican … always works in the press) for your malfeasance
(gotta remember that if I’m ever hauled into court for not paying my taxes)
@ ML

Want a real Shocker Honey, move to So Cal and figure out how to pay your property Taxes !
Fifteen properties? And just HOW did you acquire them? Inquiring minds, and all that. And what are you doing with them?
Lupe is a little loopie.
Thank you for not posting a picture of Lupe in the article. Not a good thing for her hopes to be elected with unpaid property taxes. The cities and county set the property taxes not the Governor. Vote Governor Abbott!
A Democrat blaming a Republican for high property taxes?? THAT’S a laugh!
But in a way, this makes ‘warped sense’ — because (being both a Democrat AND a female) she ‘sure as H*ll’ isn’t going to take responsibility for HER mistakes!
