Planning Board Intact as Senate Denies Governor Appointments
The Texas Senate rejected a bid to curb Governor James V. Allied's control of the state planning board 22 to 6. The proposal would have limited him to four of nine members and replaced ex officio members with other officials. Administration supporters kept amendments limiting board powers on public works, funding campaigns, and cross-department use of staff. Separately, a Senate committee deferred action on bills raising the highway load limit from 7000 to 14000 pounds, with support from sheep and oil sectors, while rail carriers warned of truck traffic impacts.
