State Finance Panel reshuffles banking and tax powers
In a rapid session the State Finance Commission approved a new Parking Commissioner and fired the State Comptroller, while naming two new credit commissioners. The shakeup touched the deputy and board posts amid broader shifts. Mercury in samples from San Antonio Bay oysters showed minimal contamination. Chocolate Bay remained free of mercury. Comptroller reports end of April show rising inflation and retail sales with a local tax increase of 0.25 percent, lifting auto and truck sales. Texas Employment Commission notes a 26.48 percent turnover tied to wage competition as skilled salaries strain public finances, with reform efforts continuing.
