CLOUT-backed candidates cut Friendswood taxes

Will wonders never cease?

For the first time in seven years, Friendswood has lowered property taxes. The city council also approved the first reading of an ordinance that would freeze such taxes for senior citizens and handicapped homeowners. The cuts could be the first of many, city officials say.

Although property values went up in Friendswood this year, residents overall should be paying slightly less because of the significant decrease.

It's good to see efforts paying off.
