    McGrady To Announce Humanitarian Project

    Tracy McGrady of the Houston Rockets will announce his participation in a "Stand Up for Darfur" humanitarian project today at Auburndale High School's auditorium.

    Included in McGrady's presentation will be a pledge of $75,000 to build a school in the Djabal Camp in eastern Chad, an area of north Africa visited by McGrady last summer. -- The Ledger</div>

    I think $75,000 is a bit cheap for T-MAC to pay considering he is making over $13 million this year.

    I think he should write a $500,000 to $1 million check. Hell, he could even use it as a tax deduction.

    I agree with Hunter. Doesn't Texas also have a very low or non-existent income tax?

    Bingo. Texas has no income tax and only a sales tax. In addition our property taxes are some of the lowest in the country.
