Texas budget talks hinge on education funds and water plan

The House and Senate advanced two-year budgets for 2014 15 but must reconcile to send to Gov Perry. A central issue is restoring up to 5.4 billion to public schools and funding a 2 billion water development bank to finance 27 billion in reservoirs pipelines and conservation projects over 50 years. Conservative lawmakers favor a constitutional amendment to avoid vote risk while Democrats push for more classroom funding. Perry demands at least 1.8 billion in tax cuts and the water fund and may keep lawmakers in session through summer.
