Texas House Eyes 5.7 Billion Spending Bill Vote
Texas House members finished a busy week with a looming vote on a 5.72 billion dollar appropriations bill.

The bill includes 28 million for new medical schools and 2.75 million to start colleges, but omits a faculty salary raise despite a 46.8 percent pay plan for state workers.
