Texas Railroad Commission May Be Kept in Constitution
Austin Bureau reports that the Texas Railroad Commission, a state agency created by the constitution, faced debate at the Constitutional Revision Commission. A tentative 120 to 9 vote recommended keeping the agency in the proposed document, resisting efforts to remove it amid oil industry pressure. A separate vote discussed the motor fuel tax, with ongoing lobbying and possible political pressure into September.
