Solons Assure Pay With Cigarette Fund Transfer
The Texas House voted to use 350000 from cigarette funds to guarantee lawmakers 25 a day pay and cover expenses for the third special session. The House advanced a 2400000000 general appropriation bill to fund state government for two years starting Sept. 1, with final passage by voice vote. A Senate finance panel will propose its version later, about 18 million below HB4, and a joint conference will seek tax support to cover costs. The spending rise hits 3,050,000 via transfer, mainly from cigarette taxes. 800,000 came from the driver license fund. A 3 cent per pack cigarette tax increase is common in conference reports on taxes. Rep. Scott McDonald opposed funding the rural road program from general revenues, favoring fuel tax and registration sources instead. See SOLONS PAY Page 6.
