Hearing on omnibus tax bill dominates Austin session
In Austin on May 30 the Senate State Affairs Committee held a hearing on the $16,000,100 omnibus tax bill to fund social security. Committee Chairman R. A. Weinert predicted a crowded room and said he might report a minority view. A substitute proposal, including a 32 percent sales tax and levies on utilities and rent, was discussed as the house weighed opposing constitutional amendment efforts. The house passed several remission and appropriations bills while several river and regional authority funding measures advanced.
