From now until July 10 testing how representative democracy works in Texas follows a plan to reconvene the Legislature on July 10 to attempt a tax bill. Gov Price Daniel urges Texans to share views while opposing a major sales tax approach. He signals he may relent if a clear majority supports it.
The legislature debates fair tax options to fund state needs with selective excise taxes on expensive goods, gas pipeline taxes, and higher interstate franchise taxes. Governor Daniel supports limited sales tax growth, while lawmakers brace for a special session and a two thirds vote to fund state operations after September. 14 constitutional amendments are planned for November 1962, including boosting disabled payments from 1.5 million to 2.5 million.
