The House quickly approved its state budget after three days of floor debate, adding over 100 million dollars, including 27.7 percent teacher pay raises over two years and a 92 percent raise for low level state workers this year. The Senate Finance Committee proposed a higher than constitutional budget by 170 million, with a conference committee to negotiate. Also included are faculty salaries boosts, a higher pay for elected officials, and new DPS and narcotics officer raises. The redistricting debate will follow, and a 19-year-old drinking age law takes effect in September after signing by Gov. Clements. Data on primary election changes and ticket scalping for high school events are also noted.
