Windfall tax fight over state owned oil shields Uncle Sam
President Carter ends price controls on U.S. crude oil, triggering a $128 billion windfall for state treasuries over ten years. Sen Danforth seeks to tax state owned oil as well, a move that could subtract $10.5 billion from 1980 to 1990 while eight states expect most of the windfall. The Senate debate centers on expanding windfall taxes and easing energy policy barriers as House consideration shifts to smaller bills and potential conference action on energy mobilization and banking reforms.

Clements Plans Possible Texas Special Session Agenda
Gov. Bill Clements says a Texas Legislature special session could occur in April or September, not January, with agenda items centered on initiative and referendum. He notes the Legislative Council is drafting an initiative bill while taxpayer group Texas 13 funds a constitutional amendment push. AFL-CIO hints at counter moves, including corporate profits tax and rolling back home loan rates.

Texas initiative and referendum drive stalls in Legislature
In Austin amid waning support, bills seeking initiative and referendum powers have repeatedly failed. Clements rejects using corporate funds for I&R campaigns while signatures must be gathered by volunteers. A 15 percent statewide support from 75 counties is required. From 1913 to 1979, multiple proposals failed to reach final passage, with HJR 3 only reaching House debate and never achieving the needed votes.
