Snelson pushes bills to raise tuition and cut tax
State Senator Pete Snelson filed four bills in the Texas Senate aimed at increasing tuition at public universities while cutting ad valorem tax from 10 cents to 3 cents. Three bills align with a two year committee study on higher education funding, proposing a college building fund supported by the tuition rise. A fourth measure seeks a constitutional amendment to expand the Permanent University Fund for construction across UT and Texas A&M systems and broaden college construction funding.
