Tax battle looms as Texas lawmakers face budget rise
A Texas legislative preview notes the 1960 election will shape tax policy as primaries shift earlier. Budgets rise about 10 percent every two years with population growth and new programs driving demand. Hale-Aikin school funding could require large taxes while lawmakers brace for a broader battle on a 96 million dollar tax bill.

State Board orders auto insurance rate cuts across state
The State Board of Insurance mandates auto insurance rate reductions from 1 to 15 percent in parts of the state effective August. Most savings come from lower expenses such as agent commissions rather than cheaper accident costs, totaling about 226 million statewide and up to 20 dollars saved per driver annually. Some urban areas see smaller cuts or small rises in certain counties. Board Chairman Penn Jackson notes a plan to offer lower rates for accident free drivers later.
