Texans weigh tax limit plan sparked by California vote
Officials and politicians in Texas respond to Proposition 13 style limits. GOP candidate Bill Clements calls for a holy war on taxes, arguing property owners face rising taxes and safeguards are needed. Democratic nominee John Hill agrees, predicting similar Texas passage if voted on. House Speaker Bill Clayton expects a Texas measure after 1979 legislative sessions begin. Hill and Clayton arrange further talks with leaders, seeking property tax relief plans.
