Tax reform drive forms Texas blue ribbon group
A Texas blue ribbon committee led by Midland attorney Tom Sealy forms to oppose income taxes and push tax reform. The Texas Association of Taxpayers grows from 300 advisory members as Sealy flags a nonobstructive, economy-minded approach within the existing tax structure. The House passes a large tax bill while Senate delays. Advertising rules for health insurers near April 1 receive tightening, with cease and desist enforcement planned for violations. Texas ranks low in highway safety compliance.
