Legislators Pass Bills but Dodge Tax Issue in Texas
Austin reports the 61st Texas Legislature passed more laws than any prior session, boosting education funding with a $61.9 million teacher pay raise, creating new medical and nursing schools, and advancing a broad water plan and enforcement measures, while delaying the major tax bill and awaiting a possible special session. Governor Smith signals timing control, with a biennial budget stance and potential veto. The State Criminal Justice Council proposes a $1.1 million plan, with federal funding anticipated. Short Snorts note TOPICS program expansion and new airline certifications, plus a GOP U S Senate bid possibility if George Bush does not run.
