New Tax Needs Cited In Texas Budget Crisis
Texas lawmakers faced grim news on taxes and welfare costs. Lt. Gov. Barnes warned that at least 6.626 billion dollars in new taxes may be needed to ease a state budget shortfall, while welfare costs could bankrupt Texas within two years if not addressed. The House passed an ethics bill after debates, sending it to a conference committee with the Senate. Both chambers approved separate versions, with no pay raise included. A May 18 ballot would consider a constitutional change to set legislative salaries through an ethics commission.
