In Austin the House resumed debate on public school finance with four substitute bills and a large stack of amendments. An 84 to 65 vote approved Hoestenbach's amendment cutting the school year from 180 to 174 days to save money.

The article also covers local building permit ordinance reviews, utility rate adjustments, and public works bids in related city business.
