Texas House Defeats School Funding Increase Bill
Rep Deve Finney of Fort Worth sponsored HB 612 a consumer credit code bill. The House postponed it 112 to 22 effectively killing it. Earlier the House defeated 74 to 68 a bill to raise public school financing to 100 percent of costs from 80 percent funded by the state, potentially easing local property taxes. The speaker regrets the loss and hopes to salvage the measure before May 31.
