Calvin Tillman served as mayor of DISH, TX, from 2009 to 2011, during which time he facilitated the construction of a municipal park, library, and remodeled the municipal building while maintaining the area's lowest tax rate. The town doubled in size and its population grew by 25%. In 2011, he moved away from DISH due to health concerns about a nearby gas processing facility and chose not to run for reelection. He later served on the Aubrey, TX City Council from 2015 to 2017, focusing on key issues for the growing city. Following the COVID pandemic, Calvin co-founded the Cooke County Conservatives, advocating for accountability and conservative values. He remains active in politics and grassroots campaigns, emphasizing medical freedom, parental rights, and private property rights. In 2023, he received the Champion of Freedom Award from Grassroots America, marking a significant recognition by the Texas grassroots community.
In this episode of DIScourse, Calvin expands on his concerns about how Texas is veering off course when it comes to enhancing the well-being of its residents, as the present trajectory primarily benefits a wealthy elite formed by both donors and politicians, magnifying their wealth with the aid of political representation. Tune in as Jackie Besinger and her guest Calvin Tillman delve into actionable solutions for addressing the skyrocketing property taxes exacerbated by the legislature's imprudent spending. The current conduct observed in the Texas legislature mirrors that of socialist Europe, characterized by excessive entitlements that burden taxpayers. With straightforward solutions at hand, one must ask: why isn't the Texas legislature taking decisive action? This vital interview is not to be missed, as your financial future rests in the balance.
