Texas sales levy debated as session opens in Austin
Texas lawmakers returned to the capital amid talk of special sessions as comptroller Calvert cut the two year general revenue forecast by about 20 million dollars. The 57th Legislature's regular session ended in stalemate over a general sales tax with Gov. Daniel pressing for new revenue while opposition favored tax limits. A Monday session was postponed to allow the funeral of Rep. Marshall Belt. Tax committee hearings and an eventual floor vote on tax measures were anticipated for midweek, with Daniel invited to present tax views to a joint session. The revenue forecast showed a deficit up to 64 million by Aug 31, though the figure is adjusted for overlap. LAWMAKERS.
