Texas House Deliberates Tax Cuts Rejecting Shivers Plan
Rep. Jack Fisk filed a 10 percent across the board tax cut bill aimed at deferring Shivers spending. The measure would take effect Jan 1 1955 and reduce state revenue by about 46 million yearly, with no impact on current services, as lawmakers consider the special session and education funding. Shivers and Senterfitt face potential gubernatorial rivalry as the GOP tax debate intensifies.
