Texas House rejects bill to add vehicle registration fee impact
In Austin the Texas House voted 76 to 58 against a measure proposing a $1 vehicle registration fee and a state system to verify motor vehicle insurance. The bill faced tax-like criticism and potential penalties for insurers and unverified owners, with possible vehicle registration termination for noncompliance. Meanwhile, redistricting committee postponed action on a new map after debate over partisan balance and district counts. The Dallas network of donors to George W. Bush, the Pioneers, was found to be larger than previously known, with more than 500 members and expected to fuel a possible $200 million re election campaign.
