Texas lawmakers pressured by bad economy and smaller revenue
Comptroller Bob Bullock says the Texas economy has hit bottom and revenue estimates drop by nearly 698 million. Lawmakers must bridge a larger spending gap, needing about 6.5 billion in new revenue to sustain current services for 1988-89, while Gov. Bill Clements resists tax hikes beyond 2.9 billion and calls for belt tightening amid potential deep cuts to education health and human services and prisons.
