Spending Compromise Sets Budget Limits in Texas
Conferees trimmed Fort Worth State school funding from 25 million to 2 million and cut a Vernon youth project to 1.03 million as part of a broad spending restraint. The House and Senate debated revisions after a marathon session, with a 296-36 voice vote and a 42-hour filibuster influencing the final package. The conference panel also approved a nondiscrimination rider and debated rodent control funding, bilingual and adult education funds, and public file access. The session plans to adjourn by July 13 after June 30 activity, with lawmakers voting 70-64 on key amendments and facing a long, wearied night in the chamber.
