Texas education funding talks near stalemate in special session
In Austin the House and Senate pressed backroom talks on overhauling school funding as deadlines loom. Negotiators traded proposals with leaders signaling closish progress yet a standstill emerged on the tax bill. Governor Perry may call another special session if this one collapses. Legislative plans aim to replace property taxes with new consumer and business taxes, including a higher sales tax and a bottled water tax. Persistent opposition centers on sales tax increases affecting lower income Texans.
