House OKs Tax on Drinks in Special Session
Austin UPI reports the Texas House passed a new mixed drink tax by 113 to 0, with Senate late session action and a 10 member conference committee planned. A separate congressional redistricting bill passed the House 66 to 49, moving to conference as lawmakers race to finish by Friday. Rep DeWitt Hale cites about 32 million in revenue over two years, while Sen Joe Christie estimates 41.3 million next biennium. A provision to cut off out of state distributors sparked a Senate filibuster in the previous session and is expected to be a major bargaining point in conference. Rep Billy Williamson pressed to raise liquor tax to 2.17 per gallon, but the amendment failed 52 to 61.
