In Austin AP reports Speaker Bill Clayton pressing a compromise to win 100 votes for a tax relief constitutional amendment. The plan bills $450 million in state reimbursements to schools, replaces references to referenda, and adopts statewide appraisal standards plus county level property valuation. Reactions from Rep.
