Bush Loses Vouchers as Budget Surplus Fuels Spending
The Texas Legislature passed a record 98.1 billion for the year, a 9 billion rise, with 6.4 billion surplus used to fund higher spending. Tax cuts totaled 1.85 billion, property taxes cut 1.35 billion, consumer taxes 277 million, and business taxes 229 million while Bush pushed for larger cuts. Critics warned the long term burden on taxpayers, and the session saw partisan battles over the James Byrd Jr. Act and casino gambling machines among other issues.
