Zero Budget reshapes Texas spending under Gov. Briscoe
Governor Dolph Briscoe pushes a zero budget policy requiring agencies and universities to defend budgets as necessary rather than shifts. Lt Gov Hobby and Speaker Clayton back the plan while Briscoe vows no new taxes, cuts staff, and seeks to preserve a lean, tax friendly state economy. The stance aims to prevent a repeat of New York City's fiscal crisis and may impact 1978 political calculations.
