Grassroots Organizations File Suit
  • Texans Uniting for Reform and Freedom (TURF), Grassroots America – We The People (GAWTP), and the True Texas Project (TTP) filed a lawsuit against the Texas Secretary of State regarding the language used for the recently passed Proposition 2 on the November 2, 2021, ballot.
  • They allege that the language was substantially misleading due to the removal of the phrase “ad valorem tax increases.”
  • Proposition 2 passed 63 percent to 37 percent.
