Not a bad campaign for only spending $30. That's right. The Taxpayers Alliance for Good Government defeated the CHISD tax increase with $30.

In a released statement, TAGG chairman Joey Dauben had this to say:

"We want to especially thank Duncanville school board trustee Cindy Werner for being the lone dissenting vote against this tax increase," Dauben said. "Her one 'no' vote was the first sign that things could get interesting in Duncanville. Even with an early election date of October 7, TAGG and the Americans For Prosperity-Texas organization helped inspire and mobilize the forces in these two districts. I personally put up the Vote No signs in Cedar Hill that cost me $30. That's $30 well spent, and 73 percent of the electorate rejected higher taxes. We have plenty to talk about at the AFP summit in Washington, D.C. this weekend!"

The signs were printed off of a color copier, and stakes and nails were donated.
