The no-new-revenue tax rate is the tax rate for the 2021 tax year that will raise the same amount
of property tax revenue for Crosby County from the same properties in both the 2020 tax year
and the 2021 tax year.
The proposed tax rate is also not greater than the voter-approval tax rate. As a result, Crosby
County is not required to hold an election to seek voter approval of the rate. However, you may
express your support for or opposition to the proposed tax rate by contacting the members of
the Commissioners Court of Crosby County by attending the public meeting mentioned above.
The voter-approval rate is the highest tax rate that Crosby County may adopt without holding an
election to seek voter approval of the rate.
The 86th Texas Legislature modified the manner in which the voter-approval tax rate is calculated
to limit the rate of growth of property taxes in the state. The following table compares the taxes
imposed on the average residence homestead by Crosby County last year to the taxes proposed
to the be imposed on the average residence homestead by Crosby County this year.
YOUR TAXES OWED UNDER ANY OF THE TAX RATES MENTIONED ABOVE CAN BE
CALCULATED AS FOLLOWS:
A tax rate of $.6700 per $100 valuation has been proposed by the governing body of Crosby
County.
(List names of ail members of the governing body below, showing how each voted on the
proposed tax rate or, if one or more were absent, indicating absences.)

have extorted millions of
dollars from other countries
and America for their own
personal good and sure as
hell are not giving citizens
any of that money.
I am mad as hell so
let’s get down to the "nut-
cutten” as the old cowboy
says. Joe Biden is a illegiti-
mate President and should
be impeached before he
completely destroys Amer-
ica. But remember this and
it is very important, “every
elected Democrat is backing
Biden 100% and should be
voted out of office”. The
Republicans put a bill on the
floor to extend the deadline
if necessary to get American
citizens out of Afghanistan
and the Dems voted against
it 100%. The House Dems
also just voted to pass the
3.5 trillion dollar green
spending bill 100%.

Since January 6th we
have heard almost every
day about the insurrec-
tion by Trump supporters
and Republicans and the
Democrats will still not
admit there was no such
thing. Nancy Pelosi formed
a committe to investigate
the insurrection by Trump
voters and now they are
putting the protestors in jail
and are even investigating
Republican Congressman
and Senators even though
they know there was no
insurrection. They do not
want you to see the videos
that show FBI agents were
among all the conservative
protesters instigating a riot
and they would be charged
if they were not supporting
the Democrats. They also
will not give the name of
the officer that killed Ashli
Babbitt on January 6th at
the Capitol because they
know the person is at least
guilty of man slaughter if
not murder. The reason all
these things happened was
the election for President
of the United States was
“election fraud” and they
were scared and still are of
what might happen if all
the facts are ever revealed.
Even the Supreme Court
would not take the case
because they knew that if
they did they would have
to reverse the results of the
Presidential election and
would bring about a revolt
by the citizens of America.
The Democrats along with a
few Republicans even voted
to build a fence around the
capitol and bring in the
national guard to protect it
which was bascially just for
show. The protest that hap-
pened on January 6th was
nothing compared to what is
happening in our large cities
in this country.
They knew an insur-
rection did not happen the
day Joe Biden was put into
office but they were scared
and still are because of their
fraud they committed dur-
ing the Presidential election.
There was never enough
stupid American people to
elect a completely incom-
petent buffoon as President
of the United States whether
they were Democrats or
Republicans. Joe Biden
was never even picked by
the majority of the Demo-
crats to be their candidate
for President of the United
States. The radical main
street Democrats paid off
Bernie Sanders and Pete to
just drop out and gave Joe
the nomination. They knew
he was not mentally capable
of running this country but
they believed they could
use him to do anything they
wanted. They knew they
could get him to open the
border and let people in to
win every election for the
Democrats. The very rea-
son they are trying to pass
a new election law where
you do not have to have a
ID to vote. I don’t believe
even the Democrats knew
how mentally retarded that
Biden really is.
The reason I go back
to the Presidential election
is to show what happens
when the President of the
United States is elected
by fraud and a completely
incompetent person takes
over. I would like to point
out that since November
4th “over 100 felons have

Update from Kurt Grant
regarding rate study status
of and related option for
building, expanding, im-
proving, and bringing the
city’s waste water treatment
been charged and identified
with Election Fraud in the
Presidential Election” that
put Taliban Joe Biden into
office. The main street me-
dia covered up all the illegal
things that he had done in
his past as well as covering
up for his son, Hunter. Here
is what the main stream
liberal media said about the
Conservatives and Trump
supporters, “ They spread
baseless allegations of Elec-
tion Fraud” concerning the
Presidential election. The
Democrats claim winning
by Election Fraud is legiti-
mate policy.
Taliban Joe Biden is
a buffoon which simply
means that he is a pompous
incompetent idiot along
with being senile and his
vice-president Kamala Har-
ris is a hoax which means
something false and prepos-
terous and the Afghanistan
debacle is just the latest ca-
tastrophe they have caused.
I wish I could find one thing
that the Biden Regime has
done that is for the good
of the American people.
Biden closed down the oil
pipleline from Canada and
put an estimated 50,000
people out of work and
made us dependent on oil
from OPEC because oil was
causing climate problems
in the world and then with
a oil shortage tells OPEC
to pump more oil. This cre-
ated inflation on everything
that people in America buy
and raised gas prices over
$1.30 more a gallon so far.
Biden completely opened
our southern borders where
criminals, disease infected
people and terrorist and
anyone else can just walk
across our borders. Buf-
foon Biden is breaking our
laws to open the border
and people are walking
across with Covid-19 while
American citizens can’t
even eat in a restaurant in
some states with out proof
of vaccination. How about
liberal Democrats and the
Biden regime defunding
police and then doing noth-
ing about all the criminal
activity in this country.
The Biden Regime is still
using Covid-19 to control
the American people which
is what they used to win
the Presidential Election
blaming Trump for 600,000
deaths and the main stream
media promoting their lies.
The vaccines’ are good but
they are still mandating the
masks which do not work
and never have, There is no
scientific proof that masks
work and never will be
because they do more harm
than good. Just one of the
ways for the liberal demo-
crats to try and control you.
The radical liberal
Democrats are a political
party that preaches hatred,
greed and victimization in
order to win elective of-
fice. It’s a political party
that loves power more than
it loves its country led by
buffoon Joe Taliban Biden
who says he will fight in-
come inequality for the rest
of his term which we hope
is not very long but is not
concerned about how many
people die in Afghanistan or
coming across our borders.
Biden says that some peo-
ple make more than other
people and that is just not
right. He does not mention
that Hunter and Joe Biden
