State Office Building Deadlock Shuts Senate Panel
Heated debate over erecting new office buildings in Austin at several million dollars leaves a Texas Senate committee in hot water. The panel must decide by September 4 whether to build two new structures or buy the Tribune building in Houston for 750000, with other options tied to a prior law. The committee, chaired by Weaver Baker, includes Craver Sellers and Lt. Gov. John Lee Smith, with House favoring new buildings and Senate backing purchase. Sellers and Baker block the buy option but may yield to break the deadlock.
