Texas budget aims to raid Rainy Day Fund for shortfall
A budget plan proposes using 3.2 billion from Texas Rainy Day Fund to close this year’s gap, with Perry vowing to veto any 2012 13 budget further tapping reserves. The plan still underfunds schools by about 800 per student and cuts Medicaid payments, risking nursing home care and jobs. Community college funding is reinstated for Odessa College and others, spread across all Texas colleges.
