In Austin on May 9 the move by Senator L. J. Sulak to grant lawmakers pay relief stalled.

Sulak argued for action to help retirees but fellow senators called it a grandstand stunt while Cotten urged returning warrants to the treasury. Sulak warned the House would block a sales tax measure if the Senate pursued the tax reform.
