Legislature Faces Showdown Over School Funding Bill
In the 29th Legislature showdown week conservatives press a $25 million tax package as part of broader public school financing efforts. The plan would lift state income tax by $10 million, corporate tax by $4 million, sales tax by $10 million, and vehicle excise by $1 million. Senate action included a $14.2 million boost via the LSSC bill, with votes from Sens. Easley Chavez Montoya and Pendleton among supporters. A separate education enrichment program was added to the bill, funded from total school funds, while House and Senate committees debated the best path for next fiscal year school aid across multiple districts.
