Briscoe budget advocates tax avoidance and education boost
Texas Governor Dolph Briscoe presents a $9.6 billion biennial budget aimed at no new revenue, leaving $300 million unobligated for court and school finance needs. The plan trims past levels by $173.1 million from 1974 75 and boosts education by $240.3 million, health and welfare funding, and court appropriations. Legislative reaction is mixed as editors prepare for potential policy briefings and open government bills advance in the Senate. The report also notes a record state oil and gas lease sale yielding $7.4 million in bonus payments and constitutional revision talks beginning after protests over representation.
