Tax and school finance shifts ripple through Texas politics
The Texas State Board of Education and Governor Allred clash over school tax rates, fixing a 7 cent per valuation ad valorem instead of 20 for 1937, with $2,000,000 for free textbooks. The US circuit court reverses a pipeline intangible tax, keeping $75,000,000 in pipeline valuations on state books. Legislative chatter centers on who will run for attorney general, Rick Allred remarks quelling talk of a third term, and mentions of potential highway chief nominees and Lyndon Johnson securing funds for reclamation projects.
