More School Fund From Cigaret Tax
Texas school children will receive an additional 4,000,000 from the cigarette tax fund over the next two years, per State Treasurer Charley Lockhart. A new law directs all cigarette tax revenue to schools for two years, replacing the prior split with the general fund. Tax receipts average 10,000 to 15,000 daily, with a conservative school total near 8,000,000. The 3 cent tax per pack began under the evasion-proof stamps in May, prompting stamp replacements. Ex-Senator Benjamin P. Berkeley of Alpine authored the bill cited.
