Tax Hike Plan Advances In House Committee
The House Appropriations Committee approved a general appropriations tax bill totaling about $133.8 million in new taxes and raised appropriations by $4.22 million. Most new spending goes to state agencies and departments, including the Department of Public Safety. The committee kept the Highway Patrol at 1,000 officers and did not fund new patrol expansion. The Liquor Control Board’s budget rose only slightly to $35 million. Overall general revenue spending would reach $47.2 million, below prior budgets from the Legislative Budget Board and Gov. Connally. Connally had proposed a $125 million tax plan earlier in the special session.
