@chron The idea that tax-exempt religious institutions might have a direct line to discuss road projects and other infrastructure decisions with #Houston 's mayor has irked many residents. Trinity pastor: "You can say we're not taxpayers, but we contribute greatly to the community."

@EricKillelea @chron Yes, and the bigger issue here that should concern folks is the 1) lack of separation of church and state in democracy and 2) the tax-exempt institution gets priority to dictate what the city does with folks taxes who do contribute

@EricKillelea @chron As for me and my house. Way before it was my hose there was a little girl that went to school there and the rest of the house went to church there. Yet, I am not sure Pastor Dorn even knows who I am but he can ask Pastor Black who that little girl is now. And we want safety.
