Konni Burton Goes Off the Rails to hide support for new taxes
Tea Party/Trump Party Republican Konni Burton took her Texas Senate District 10 race against mainstream Democrat Beverly Powell off the rails on Friday. Burton launched a wild and misleading charge against Powell claiming Powell failed to pay some taxes. Records, however, show that while Powell – like many small businesses – disputed some business tax assessments, she ultimately resolved the disagreements.
Beverly Powell is a successful Tarrant County businesswoman and a highly respected former Burleson School Board Member.
Meanwhile, Konni Burton ran for office as a fervent Tea Party activist and is now being forced to defend a four-year record of blind allegiance to the Austin-based extreme special interest PAC, Empower Texans, and west Texas ideologue billionaires like Tim Dunn.
Most damaging to Burton is her support for a massive state consumption taxand her state budget votes that are forcing local property taxes to skyrocket. When confronted about her tax votes, Burton adopts the Trump approach and flatly lies, hoping to overwhelm facts with fast talk and bluster.
