New Report Shows Republicans’ Tax Plan Raises Taxes on District 30 Families

Millions of middle class families would pay more in taxes under the Republican framework. “The Ryan-McConnell tax plan relies on the same tired, trickle-down tax agenda that Republicans have used for decades,” said Congresswoman Johnson. “I will fight for the people of District 30 and stand firm in demanding real tax reform that puts the middle class first, with not one penny in tax cuts for the top 1 percent.”
Legislature cut funding for prekindergarten by $140 million
Representative Eric Johnson District 100 The 85th Texas Legislature made some progress in the area of education but failed to provide the financial support our local school districts truly need. The Legislature passed a $217 billion budget for the 2018-2019 biennium, a 0.2
percent increase over the budget passed by the 84th Texas Legislature. The budget provides no additional funding for prekindergarten and cuts funding for a prekindergarten grant program that was implemented in 2015, but still requires districts to achieve new, higher quality standards. This unfunded mandate on the House floor, arguing that it was unfair to our local school districts. Overall, the Legislature cut funding for prekindergarten by $140 million, leaving local school districts with the choice of funding quality prekindergarten programs themselves or ceasing to offer such programs. Other new education laws that passed during the 85th Texas Legislature include House Bill 22, a law that reformed the controversial “A through F” school rating system that stigmatized low-performing schools. The new school accountability measurement looks at student achievement, student progress, and how effective districts are at closing student achievement gaps.

The Legislature also passed House Bill 357 to expand prekindergarten eligibility to include the children of seriously injured or fallen first responders. House Bill 2039 requires the State Board for Educator Certification to create an early childhood certificate to train teachers in prekindergarten through third grade instruction. Despite some of the setbacks in education, I was able to pass an important piece
Page 3
of legislation to help children in this state. House Bill 674 prohibits schools from placing students in prekindergarten through second grade in out-of-school suspension and encourages schools to use alternative discipline methods that keep students in school. This new law helps shut off the school-to-prison pipeline by preventing the stigmatization of very young children.

WORDS FROM THE CLERGY This past Sunday I shared that God's a God of mystery and diversity. He's mysterious in the fact that there are things God does that can't be explained they must be experienced. He's also diverse in how He does things each time in our lives. Bearing this in mind, God has a purpose and plan for your life, and His timing is perfect. Sometimes He answers our prayers with “yes” or “no.” But at other times, He says, “Not now.” When this is the case, we can avail ourselves of the rich rewards that come while we wait. One very practical blessing is that God strengthens us as we lean on Him during delays. Isaiah 40:31 describes an eagle soaring—an apt metaphor for how the believer who abides in the Lord will be lifted and sustained by His Spirit. (In fact, it’s interesting to note that the Hebrew for “wind” and “spirit” come from the same word: reach.) When we are facing a difficult decision, the real key is learning to wait. There is no verse of Scripture that tells us to take control and fight our own battles. God is the one who fights them on our behalf (2 Chro.20:15). We are to be patient and trust in Him, so don't monitor what you want God to manage.
We Need Your Help
“DISD"
Bus Safety-Bus Driver Jobs Kennedy Young Jr: Lead Pastor
When David faced his greatest battles, he waited upon the Lord. God delivered him from destruction and set his feet on solid ground (Psa. 40:1-3). He will do the same for you. Further more David shares and shows that when we do things God's way we get God's desired results. When you abide in Him, He gives supernatural energy to accomplish the things He requires of you—His Spirit does for you what you cannot do for yourself. Will you give God your natural to pair with His Super? In reading through the Scriptures, we see that every time one of God’s saints gains a victory, he or she is waiting and trusting in the Lord. You can likewise experience triumph in your life. When you have the omnipotent Creator of the universe acting on your behalf, you can’t lose. By His Amazing Grace, Kennedy Young Jr |Lead Pastor of East Gate Missionary Baptist Church -Nahum 1:7

Roundtable Member from Luby’s at 67 in Southern Dallas By Arielle Johnson Years ago, William Blair rounded up a group of his associates, and said they needed to gather all of the Black businessmen and clergy, for the purpose of having ongoing discussions about what we can do to make things better for our communities. As with any long standing organization, people have come and gone, however there are still many who continue to gather at Luby’s on 67, Monday through Friday at noon, to talk business. Yesterday we had an opportunity to speak with Billy Allen, the Director of the Black Cowboys Rodeo, who has been attending the meetings since the 90s. In the beginning, the meetings were held at 35 and Ann Arbor, a different Lubys location. Mr. Allen said, “There was no predetermined thought to change Dallas. We met to get a sense of what was going on and discuss how to influence things in a positive direction.” For someone who has lived in Dal-
guilty for judging other black people for not being dressed fashionably enough to be considered a productive member of society. Essentially, we are demonizing our own people, by placing more value on material things instead of focusing on the individual, which makes it easier for other people to attack us.
Lately in the news, there has been a lot of talk about the removal of las for decades, it is easy for Mr. Confederate statues and all things here in Dallas that are considered to Allen to address situations we are be symbols of hate. Mr. Allen considers the removal of those symbols of experiencing today as Blacks and hate as being symbolic towards the ideal of instilling hope. It allows us place the same situation in a histo hope for greater things on the part of the government tomorrow, but torical perspective to make comthe real building has to begin with the intellectuals of our society.

Honoring the Life and Legacy of a Voting Rights Activist,
Ms. Fannie Lou Hamer Contributed by Eddie Benice Johnson
On this day, we honor the civil
rights icon and voting rights activist, Ms. Fannie Lou Hamer. Born on October 3, 1917, Ms. Hamer is fondly remembered and admired for her activism during the Civil Rights Movement while speaking out against the injustices that African Americans faced in Mississippi and across the United States. Ms. Fannie Lou Hamer was born in Montgomery County, Mississippi, to a family of impoverished share croppers. At six years old, her family expected her to work in the fields at the same time that she had a bout of polio that left her with a lifelong limp. Although she suffered with polio she continued to work in the fields most of her life, until she was fired for trying to register to vote. At 37 years old, Ms. Hamer launched her career in political activism, which soon became her chief mission in life. Ms. Hamer attended a meeting hosted by the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee (SNCC) and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference (SLCL) where she first registered to vote and became a field worker on the voter registration committee. In 1964, she attended the Democratic Convention in Atlanta and eventually helped found
the Mississippi Freedom Democratic Party. Ms. Hamer became one of the many faces of the civil rights struggle in Mississippi. While the Voting Rights Act of 1965 codified what Ms. Hamer fought so hard for in our country, there still remains much to do. Before the 2016 election, 14 states adopted new voter laws under the guise of combating voter fraud, which essentially created new barriers to voting for tens of thousands of low-income citizens and citizens of color. Later, the Supreme Court decision in Shelby v. Holder left many across the nation without their fundamental right to vote by reversing a key formula used in the Voting Rights Act to hold states accountable. On May 11, 2017, President Trump issued an executive order that would create an “election integrity” commission, which has been stated to combat voter fraud, but in reality will lead to a repeat of the egregious mistakes of our past. Ms. Hamer’s persistence and diligence in her fight for voting rights was integral to the Civil Rights Movement and the eventual passage of legislation that protected the right to vote for all citizens. We must continue to remember her struggle, as the struggle continues even to this day. By honoring Ms.
Hamer’s legacy, we can learn from the mistakes of our past and recognize those who had fought for a better future. She is definitely an exemplary model of what it looks like to stand firm for equality when it comes to voting rights. So I will remain determined to push the current Administration to understand how imperative it is to actually provide solutions to the true issue of voter suppression and not voter fraud.

As a citizen of this country for 64 years, a grandfather of 3 boys, and father of 2 males and a taxpayer for 6 decades... I have earned a right to express myself on various issues that have impacted our LIVES. Thank You Dale Hanson of channel 8 for your honest true editorial you gave on the issue of race relations and WHITE privilege that is real and alive in this country called the home of the free and the brave. In am glad your employer did not fire you, lay you off or demoted You.. If you worked at Parkland hospital they would have riffed you. Being courageous enough to speak to issues that most ignore or hide from requires power from God..just as the prophet Nathan who called out King David.. there comes a
time when a nobody tells everybody the truth. Months ago.. and to long for me to
accept has been the investigation of the Balch Springs police officer that shot and killed an unarmed beautiful son of loving law abiding parents and tax payers of dallas county. Their civil rights and the rights of their son, Jordan was violated. The killing of this young jewel of America is the reason for my outcry!!
BLACK powerful congressional district members with 4 decades of experience.
This investigation has been conducted by Faith Johnson, Republican party appointed Dallas County District attorney. Now DA Johnson is seeking to be elected by the voters of Dallas County with the obvious endorsement of T.D.Jakes, the world class Pastor of the Potters HOUSE . Do you seriously think she deserves to be the DA of the COUNTY???? Really????
MLK and Malcolm X never had so many elected black leaders that DALLAS COUNTY has. Fredrick Douglas, Nat TURNER, Harriet Tubman never had so many elected power like those posting on face book every day.
It should never take weeks, days, months to investigate this MURDER. Why does it take this long? Why is there so much silence and calls for patience, healing, and no protest. The facts are clear in this market called Dallas..... There is a black city of Dallas Police Chief, BLACK City of Dallas City Manager. Black State Senator with 3 decades of power. Black DA, Black Public Dallas County defender for over 3 decades....3 Dallas County Commissioners all democrats and minorities, Mayor Pro Tem in Dallas use to be a black man, over 20 female black judges in the COUNTY. 3 blacks seeking to become Dallas County DA..2
Do you remember those old black and white PBS clips of the civil rights movement and all the leader's mostly pastors and icons marching as one locked arm in arm??? Protesting????
How can they sit quiet and never ask how long does it take.. Why can a white man kill a BLACK person and walk the streets each day??? No outcry...why? Most pastors tell blacks to be STILL. Be QUIET. Don't Protest, Heal. Attend bible study and sweep it under the rug!!! Blacks are told to WAIT, pray and obey the law in this country.. There is no way in hell you should be able to shoot a 15 year old or any one in the back of the head and go free. Go unconvicted.. our man downtown has be quiet. Our mega pastors quiet. Before l be a slave ...I be buried in my grave. We speak the name of Trump, Elvis, Robert E.Lee, Zeke Elliott,
Page 9
No outcry An Open Letter Kim Kardashian, Caraway,Mark Cuban..every day in this city. Not . more than the name of the dear family that was violated and murdred. Their sacred monument has been killed and removed. YOU REMOVED THEM FROM THIS COUNTY BY YOUR SILENCE... Why can't blacks lock arms and walk to Faith Johnson office and ask this question. Why so long??? Why don't DALLAS whites see this as a violation. Why dont DALLAS Hispanics see this as a violation... where is the RESPECT..the unity??? You ask me to rally and support Back the Blue. You ask me to rally and support Grow SOUTH.you tell me to rally and support DISD bonds that benefit north Dallas. SOC is still deplorable. Continue on pg 11 No Out Cry October 6, 2017

Friends Please know that I do not support dissolving Dallas County Schools. While I will admit that they have struggled, I do not believe that DallasISD is ready or able to take on the responsibility of transporting the large number of students that are currently being transported by DCS. Our transportation area is about 227 miles and this year alone we added 75 routes to DCS. It has been estimated that the bus startup cost would be approximately $150 million which would take funds away from other programs that we are currently trying to enhance or start. Last year we spent approximately 45 million for transportation. DCS receives .01 taxes to augment the cost of school transportation and that will go away if the agency is dissolved.

Have you ever gone to church and left it feeling the same way you did when you walked in? Maybe you wander in every Sunday because it was the way your parents reared you. It is all you know. You show up on Sundays, mumble verses the pastor guides you to in the bible, but after reading a few words, your mind drifts somewhere else. Your experience is nothing like the woman who may be sitting next to you, who has learned how to release her burdens at the altar, instead of dragging them around everywhere she goes as if it is her personal luggage. We recently had an opportunity to speak with Pastor Tanya Baker of the Incredible Church in Dallas, and she broke down what people are missing. You just can’t show up to church and recite the words, without knowing the meaning and expect something miraculous to take place. Pastor Baker shared with the Elite News the story of how it is even more difficult for high profile celebrities to find the deliverance they are seeking from the church, because they are often given a pass in their sinning. “When we look at church, people are doing what they want to do,” says Pastor Baker, “The Incredible Church, which is a non-denominational church, is trying to help people get back to being faithful to God, and let people know, there are boundaries for believers.” When you meet Pastor Baker, you will realize immediately, she has a radical approach to teaching the word. Even her dress is different; classy, yet trendy and stylish. Also, she has learned how to harness the power of social media, to reach people who ordinarily may not have
An Incredible Woman from The Incredible Church By Arielle Johnson
come across her ministry through word of mouth. Last week there was an Instagram challenge which went viral. It seems as if the challenge may have been sparked by vocalist Erykah Badu and comedian Michael Blackson. The two appeared to be at a bar after hours, clowning around by rapping about what they would do for sex. Copycats went out of their way to top the composition made by the two, even going so far as to add how they would sell their souls and kill for it. Although she is not a rapper, Pastor Baker took to her Instagram to create her own rap to counter the negativity caused by the challenge. In her rap composition, she seemed to question the multiple acts of sin, people have been caught saying they were willing to commit for sex. Pastor Baker reminded us of how powerful social media is and that we are actually evoking evil spirits and selling our souls just to get a few likes.
The “No Side Chick Challenge” video idea, which was created by Pastor Baker, is available for viewing at her Youtube channel. In the video she addresses the destructive behavior of the “side chick”. Not only is she destroying her life, but also the life of the man she is involved with and indirectly, his family and children. When discussing our present leadership, Pastor Baker says we have to remember, our president was allowed by God to take office. Although the President often operates in an annoying, idiotic manner, he is still being used by God. His behavior is actually pushing us towards each other and as a result, many Americans are starting to wake up. God is using him to be an agitator. . On November 10-11, 2017 from 6 p.m. to 1p.m., Pastor Tanya of The Incredible Church will be presenting another installment of her “Girlfriends and God” series where women can come together and release and have fun in the process. This year’s theme is “Don’t Go Chasing Waterfalls: Rectify*Release*Reclaim.” Some of the planned activities include learning How to Cook Healthy, Dancing in Stilettos, and plenty of empowering presentations designed to mo-
tivate attendees. One of the special guests will be Shamicka Lawrence from Hollywood Exes, and ex-wife of Martin Lawrence. More information about the event can be found by visiting the EventBrite website. To find out more about Pastor Tanya Baker’s ministry, please follow her on instagram at @pastortanyabaker and subscribe to her Youtube channel - Pastor Tanya Baker. The church’s main website is located at www.theincrediblechurch.org Pastor Baker is never too busy for anyone who may be in need of spiritual guidance, and is known for reaching out to people who contact her through her social media sites. When presented with the opportunity to provide healing online, she always responds to others concerns in a timely manner.
