Texas Legislature Nears End of Session Amid Stalemate
In Austin on May 2 the Texas Legislature marked its 120th day with little progress toward final adjournment. Members will take half pay after today as attempts to set a quit date continue. A major hurdle remains in two key appropriation bills, one to be removed by free conference and another to be completed by week’s end. The House passed a government reorganization bill cutting 238 departments to 19, pending Senate approval. A horse racing bill with a rider legalizing the certificate wagering system was added to the departmental bill, while a pari mutuel wagering proposal previously defeated in the House faced a renewed, cautious fight.
