Texas study says casinos could fund school system

The Perryman Group study funded by The Texas Enhancement Group estimates more than 2.3 billion dollars in new state revenues if casino gambling is legalized. It suggests funds could replace the Robin Hood property tax based school financing and bolster state and local budgets. Senator Rodney Ellis backs full casino legalization, proposing 34 licenses with a 15 percent gross revenue tax.

Judge seeks dismissal in Texas school funding suit

Lawyers for the state ask a district judge to dismiss a lawsuit challenging public school funding, arguing lack of standing. If denied, the case could linger through appeals and push back a potential Perry-backed overhaul of the Robin Hood funding system, affecting nearly 30 billion dollars in annual school financing. Wayne Pierce of the Equity Center warns delays may slow lawmakers, though a court ruling sooner would help Texas children.
