Texas Legislature Advances Major Budget and Tax Deals
In a fast moving session week the Texas Legislature pushed major budget and tax measures toward conference for final passage. Senate approved a higher sales tax and broader levies, while the House backed a separate set of increases and a services tax. Welfare benefits rise is also outlined, with AFDC and elder and disabled grants set to increase, aided by a voter approved spending ceiling rise. Private clubs face stricter enforcement of new Liquor Control Board rules, as appointments to multiple state boards and honorary posts are announced.
