Tax bill advocates eyed in legislative posts as funds tighten
Austin reports warn only about 130000 remains in the legislative expense fund and many advocates for a new tax plan work for or without pay. Session costs totaled 2773140 for last year with salaries roughly 5000 per member and most funds spent on staff and records. A retail sales tax could raise about 133 million a year but face collection costs around 3 million and potential impact on raw materials for manufacturing. A gas severance tax court challenge looms with up to 15 million yearly at stake. A Lyndon Johnson dinner committee plans a 50 dollar plate event June 13 at Austin Municipal Auditorium honoring Johnson Rayburn and Daniel with Garner as honorary chair.

Cube-Shaped Pea Dream Sparks Food Fashion Fancies
The piece notes Dr. William Hunter of Canada’s Department of Agriculture pursues a cube shaped pea to stop rolling at meals. It contrasts with botanists creating a green pea in a purple pod and jokes about how color and form could alter eating habits and kitchen design. It mentions speculative desires for non squirt grapefruit and square eggs, reflecting playful science commentary.
