Texas tax remission bill blocked by constitutional opinion
A Texas general tax remission bill proposing about 4.5 million dollars yearly for five years faces a constitutional flaw. Attorney General Gerald C. Mann cites lack of specific appropriation, saying funds would move from the state treasury to substate general funds without proper designation. Comptroller George H. Sheppard plans to follow unless court action says otherwise. Gov. W Lee O'Daniel had approved the measure, which targets counties including Harris and Galveston with funds for various purposes, not necessarily tax relief.
