Texas lawmakers wrap up tax bill fighting for adjournment
Texas lawmakers close a bitter session as they approve an 873.3 million tax package aimed at July 1 implementation. The House voted 100-46 to concur in Senate changes, with leaders signaling a fast path to adjournment by May 31. The bill raises auto and rental taxes, sales tax, franchise tax, cigarette and gasoline taxes, and beer tax with later steps to adjust the beer rate per drink. Governor Smith has not yet signed, and an override appears unlikely.
