Texas lawmakers weigh deficit plan amid state budget squeeze
Texas legislators move toward appropriations amid a projected deficit as House and Senate panels trim requests from more than 567 million to under 500 million from the General Revenue Fund. Tax bills target about 3 million, with sales tax proposals discussed to retire the deficit and fund population-driven spending. Gov. Price Daniel supports deficit retirement, while lawmakers prepare two general sales tax measures and a closing tax loophole bill.
