Texas Lawmakers Push Selective Sales Tax Plan
Four Texas legislators spent Wednesday in Amarillo discussing steps to reduce the state tax burden. West Texas voters favored a selective sales tax to balance the books as Amarillo hosts talks with Byron M. Tunnell, Will Fhrie, and Ben Barnes. Tunnell, a candidate for Speaker of the House, heads a conservative touring effort through the legislature recess. Governor Price Daniel has called the session for July 10 to complete a tax bill and ensure funds meet two year appropriations. Turman's possible reelection is noted as a possibility.
