Senate to Study Money Tax Measures Next Week
The Texas Senate completed action on city sales tax after a 47 hour filibuster and sent it to the governor for signature. A companion measure seeking to outlaw emergency affidavits for Sunday purchases faced an abbreviated filibuster and is postponed to March 29. Also, Humble Oil and Refining and Friendswood Development may donate 50 acres plus up to 73 more to the University of Houston for a Clear Lake City Center in aerospace studies.
