Hearings Probe Fishing Rules and Tarpon Measures
Public input sought on lowering the five fish bag limit for spotted seatrout in Lower Laguna Madre and other proposals. Biologists consider increasing sheepshead minimum length to 15 inches by 2010, raising tarpon minimum size to 90 inches, and moving toward catch and release for tarpon with a zero bag limit. Other items include red snapper hook-use rules, court enforcement language, and hunting rule tweaks such as spring turkey season shifts and extending the archery deer season.

Goose Creek faces tight funding as HB 1 cuts rate and caps rev
Goose Creek district grapples with a new HB 1 formula that caps total revenue at 138 million, lowers the tax rate to 1.33 for 2006-07 and 1.00 in 2007-08, with hold harmless grants only filling the gap to the higher of 2005-06 or 2006-07 totals. Superintendent Barbara Sultis warns of tough future choices as per-WADA value limits block revenue growth while student weights and enrollments drive funding.
