Economy and salaries clash in Texas legislature debate
The Tuesday Daily notes the gulf between house and senate on the educational appropriation bill. If no accord is reached before the called session, further economy talk may fail to save funds as professors face pay cuts. The piece critiques lawmakers' salaries versus educators, questions past pay raises, and warns of broader waste. It also recounts a poison bread incident linked to arsenic in flour and calls for food safety vigilance and public guidance.
