Texas Legislature Battles Tax Passage After Record Session
Texas lawmakers wrap the 61st regular session with a record volume of legislation and a $2.8 billion one year budget. A special session to finish 1971 appropriations and a major tax bill is debated as Gov. Preston Smith weighs timing and a possible biennial budget. Legislators tout gains in education and environment while education funding rises and new higher education facilities are authorized. The Texas Criminal Justice Council proposes a $1.1 million two year plan funded by federal crime control money. Courts, personnel and taxation issues dominate, with attorney general rulings on school board elections and constitutional questions about road construction and state budgeting. Follow Through Head Start grants are extended to seven districts to support preschool to primary education gains.
