Perry plan faces two thirds votes in Texas Legislature
Gov. Rick Perry seeks to revamp school finance and reduce property taxes in a special session. With 88 Republicans and 62 Democrats in the House needing 100 votes for two thirds, and 19 Republicans and 12 Democrats in the Senate needing 21, major changes require cross partisan support. Democrats previously used the two thirds rule to block agendas, and party leaders warn any plan must avoid short changing children and taxpayers while restoring teacher health benefits as a first step.
