Topic: Liberty Cities

Discussed by Jess Fields
with Texas Public Policy Foundation (www.TexasPolicy.com)

Most listeners of the What’s UP Program would absolutely love to live in a Liberty City. But what is a “Liberty City”? Jess Fields, the Senior Policy Analyst with the Texas Public Policy Foundation, explains that people in a Liberty City believe in want taxes and government spending low. They want only the bare necessities. “A Liberty City commits to protecting freedom,” he says.

While it is much easier to start a Liberty City from scratch, it can be done with an already established city. Listen in as Jess discusses how a city can become a Liberty City, like Von Ormy, Texas, which was established in 2008.

FACT: In 2014, Von Ormy, Texas was able to abolish their property tax! Done. Gone. Zip. None.

There is some bad news regarding Liberty Cities and how to go about becoming one, though. But wait! There is also good news! Listen in as Jess explains.
