Bills To Hike Truck Limits Are Killed
In Austin the House voted 83 to 56 against printing a truck load limit bill on a minority committee report. Other proposals linger but lack chance unless lower chamber sentiment shifts. The 7,000 pound limit drew strong defense from Lower Rio Grande Valley delegations and opposition from those fearing more heavy trucks on highways. The House postponed tax remission bill and eyed a constitutional amendment to raise about 35 million for the treasury, while a 22 percent sales tax fight sparked preparation by opponents.
