Legislature Closes With Budget Deal In Texas
In Austin, lawmakers settled the $9.7 billion no tax two year budget and faced little progress on other items with four days left in the session. The House approved the budget conference report 128 to 4 and sent it to the governor. Debate on the school finance bill lingered, with talks over a long range plan to end inequities and high costs. Ethics code talks stalled as Senate negotiators declined to meet the House.
