Texas gubernatorial candidate Beto O’Rourke is pointing the finger at his opponent, Gov. Greg Abbott, over inflation and rising property taxes in the state.
“He’s the single greatest driver of inflation in the state of Texas and it’s causing real pain to our fellow Texans right now,” O’Rourke told reporters on Wednesday, according to WFAA, an ABC affiliate in Texas.
“In the ninth largest economy on the planet and the wealthiest country in the world. It is not for lack of resources. It is for lack of political will,” O’Rourke added, according to the Palestine Herald-Press.
Abbott’s campaign responded to O’Rourke in a tweet, calling O'Rourke a "serial flip-flopped" and saying the governor, “has reduced property taxes for Texans by over $18B since taking office, while Beto has an established track-record of increasing property taxes while serving on the city council in El Paso.”
