This week, Harris County commissioners are set to raise property taxes for residents. Democratic Harris County Judge candidate Letitia Plummer opposes the move, saying families are already stretched thin. She also says Governor Greg Abbott isn’t making it easy, citing deferred infrastructure investment, no Medicaid expansion, and an underfunded public defender system as factors behind the county’s budget strain. Plummer says she would focus on disciplined planning and spending within the county’s means.
