Governor Dolph Briscoe urges returning $1 billion to Texans by earmarking one cent of the state sales tax for local school districts to cut property taxes. He notes this would complement the $1 billion relief from the Tax Relief Amendment, as he delivers his final legislative speech before leaving office January 16.
