Four bills drive Texas House debate on school finance
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. Governor Briscoe pushes weighted pupil funding, but prospects look slim with estimates of a one in four chance. The article also covers local building permit ordinance reviews, utility rate adjustments, and public works bids in related city business.
