State Water and Farm Outlook Dominates Texas Briefs
Water issues remain central as Texas monitors drought relief and irrigation gains. A USDA Texas study shows irrigation up about 15 percent 1958 to 1964 while in-basin surpluses and deficits will shape 2020 water planning. State finances tighten with a near 100 million dollar surplus, then a 4.2 million balance. Legislative spend totals and a 70.6 billion dollar two year teacher pay bill headline budget shifts. Mental health and tuberculosis services realign under a new Department of Mental Health and Retardation with a nine member board. TEA enforcement under Civil Rights Act prompts district reviews and possible hearings.
