Omnibus Tax Favored in Texas House Vote
In Austin on May 22 the Texas House showed overwhelming support for an omnibus tax bill to finance social security, voting 110 to 25 to avoid defeating the measure. Rep. W. N. Corry of Keller urged striking the enacting clause, arguing the bill harms the elderly and is poor policy. Governor O'Daniel backs a sales tax constitutional amendment and warned the bill would delay pension solutions. The Senate has not favored tax measures and again favored the sales tax amendment. Corry claimed backers are not friends of the old people and that revenue would be insufficient and inequitable.
