Texas House Backs Teacher Pay and Rural Road Bill
In Austin on March 25 the Texas House passed on second reading Rep. C. S. McLellan’s tax bill to fund higher teachers salaries and more rural roads. The measure now moves to the house calendar for third reading after an 85 to 50 vote, with a failed attempt to suspend rules for immediate final passage. The bill applies a tax of 1.185 cents per 1000 cubic feet of natural gas, with exemptions, to raise about 29 million dollars annually, funding school apportionment and farm-to-market roads. A senate fight looms over funding sources for a 60 million dollar state college building program.
