Taxes key issue in Lubbock mayor's race - very weak story. For example: Lubbock is compared to other cities but the number of similar cities in Texas is not shown. Also, the tax rates for these similar cities are not shown so no idea is given of the degree of the spread. Without this information, comparison are generally meaningless.
