Texas Governor Perry supports a key provision in a plan to overhaul public school funding, proposing a payroll tax on businesses rather than the franchise tax.

The House passed a bill about 300 million short of funding for property tax cuts and education reform. The House then defeated Perry’s separate proposal 126 to 0.
