Tax Scene in Texas Legislature Faces Revenue Questions
As the Texas Legislature nears mid session the tax issue dominates. A projected 175 million dollars in new revenues are needed over two years to cover the General Revenue Fund deficit and maintain services. Growth drives higher costs, notably in public education, while sales tax expansion and a gas tax are debated. A Victoria Rep. Cory proposal seeks a private citizen commission to cut waste and overlap, promising long term efficiency with broad support for debate next week.
