Texas budget proposal grows for 2008-09 session
The proposal expands the two year budget to about 165 billion with 75.5 billion from state general revenue. It marks a 3.8 percent rise from the 2006-07 level and excludes 14 billion for school property tax cuts from a separate bill. The session ends May 28 with talks on new funding for programs including a 50 million push to reduce high school dropouts.

Texas House Eyes Block Spending For Tax Relief And Parks
The education provision dominates the budget push as the bill heads to the full House then Senate. Officials aim for Texas to fund about half of public education with local support, while leaving 4.2 billion unspent for future property tax relief. The plan adds 3.6 billion for education, 2.5 billion for health and human services, 590 million for criminal justice, and 300 million for parks, with caveats over Parks Department costs and pending lawsuits in East Texas and Medicaid reforms.
