Texans weigh tax plan with higher sales and gas levies
The House considered a broad tax package raising city sales taxes by one penny and expanding the levy to car rentals. It proposes a 2 cent per gallon gasoline tax increase, a diesel tax, cigarette tax hike, beer tax boost, and a larger franchise tax. Revenue would fund highway programs and state services, with estimated gains of several hundred million over two years. Hard questions arose on who bears the burden, with lawmakers noting business pays a share while opponents cited consumer costs. Additional bills target car safety reinspections and rural mass gathering controls, and a four-year phaseout of the chain store tax, currently yielding about $3 million annually, was approved.
