Perry delays Robin Hood repeal as House rights violated
Gov. Rick Perry called for more study of school finance options after a bill to end the Robin Hood plan and boost funding stalled in the Texas House for breaking committee rules. The measure would repeal Robin Hood by 2005, add 1.2 billion dollars in funding, and raise districts by 300 dollars per student temporarily, with debate resuming next week.

Strayhorn Finds Gap in House Budget Crisis in Texas
Comptroller Strayhorn says the two year Texas House budget is $2.9 billion short after line by line review of House Bill 1 and House Bill 7 for 2003 to 2005. She cites shortfall even after expected savings and agency consolidations, warning that new revenue measures may be needed. The Senate plans its own, slightly larger plan and aims to specify revenue sources. House leaders express surprise at the shortfall amid calls for cuts and possible tax moves.
