Routine Work Dims Texas Bond Relief Debate
In Austin on February 22, the Texas Legislature pressed routine business as it shelved action on the bond relief bill. The House considered minor matters while awaiting concurrence with Senate amendments to a 4.5 million bond proposal, and the Senate did not meet. Key differences include bond totals and horse race tax plans. A separate measure reallocating 230 thousand dollars from rural aid deficiency payments faced House resistance but passed preliminaries. Other items included highway condemnation authority for the state, a Corpus Christi federal loan for seawall work, and Galveston hoof and mouth disease quarantine claims.
