Billion dollar budget requests spill into Texas legislature
Texas lawmakers prepare to convene next Tuesday amid requests totaling at least 328 million in new spending and 276 million in expected revenue gains. Comptroller Calvert notes a current biennial outlay near 160 million with a potential 176 million general revenue inflow, leaving a possible 10 million surplus if trends hold. Highway maintenance seeks 100 million per year, teacher pay up from 2300 to 3000 would add 34 million annually, and other agencies push for 35 million annually. A drop in oil demand could reduce revenue, while a hoped payroll tax faces constitutional hurdles and a nine-tenths of a cent per 1,000 cubic feet gas tax may yield 1 million yearly but remains contested.
