Texas lawmakers Near End Of Regular Session
In Austin the legislature entered the final full week with no clear May 7 deadline in sight. Pay raises for teachers and funding schemes dominated the agenda as bills move through House finance, with Gov. Price Daniel hopeful that $20 million in measures and a potential $30 million general fund surplus can cover a $50 million pay raise. A two billion dollar general appropriation bill aims to fund the next two fiscal years and could adjourn within seven days if the joint conference committee meets its May 1 target. Contested issues include reorganization of the Insurance Commission and pro segregation bills likely to trigger a Senate filibuster.
