Texas Senate votes to cut taxes four point six billion
The Texas Senate, with Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick leading, largely approved a four point six billion tax cut on March twenty fifth. Five lawmakers resisted, notably Kevin Eltife, who argues that local governments need more room to raise funds and that funds should prioritize essential needs such as education, transportation, infrastructure, health care, and debt reduction. The House, in contrast, pursues a slower path and contemplates reforming school funding before endorsing tax cuts.
