Reduction In Sulphur Tax To Boost Texas Production
Texas Senate tentatively approved a bill cutting the sulfur tax from 1.40 to 1.03 per ton, a one million dollar annual loss aimed at making Texas sulfur competitive with Louisiana. Sponsor Sen. Culp Krueger said higher future production would offset the tax revenue drop. The chamber also rejected immediate debate on merging the Game and Fish Commission with the State Parks Board.

Cost Of Living Returns To Record Level In February
The Labor Department says the consumer price index rose 0.1 percent to 106.1 in February, 1.2 percent above a year ago, driven by higher food and clothing costs. Fresh fruits and vegetables surged due to winter crop freezes, while meat prices eased later. Public transportation costs edged up, and private transportation costs held steady, with automobile prices offsetting by cheaper new cars and gas.
