Governor Drops Plan for Special Session
Governor Coke Stevenson abandons a special session proposal to erase a 21 million dollar general fund deficit. He cites refusal by the Texas State Teachers Association to back the plan, though they deny obstructionist aims. The State Automatic Tax Board sets the school tax rate at 10 cents to avoid delaying deficit payments, with a total rate of 47 cents including general purposes and Confederate pensions.
