Texas committee tackles tax and spending reform in Austin
Texas lawmakers pressed tax and spending issues in committee rooms. The Senate state affairs panel held the second day of hearings on the House revenue measure HB20 while a joint conference committee drafted a $2.5 billion appropriation bill in secret. Senate passage of any revenue bill before next Tuesday looked unlikely as House revenue negotiators, led by Rep. Charles Sandahl, warned the bill would raise about 28 million though Comptroller Robert Calvert projected just under 255 million. The package relies on a 2 percent retail sales tax on items over five dollars with exemptions for food and medicine. Ballman proposals to cut costs and raise revenue include tuition hikes, child support reforms, mineral production tax, and teacher retirement fund adjustments.
