Texas Political Upheaval Fractures Split on Education Plan
Gov. Ann Richards pressed through House Republicans to push the Robin Hood plan onto the May 1 ballot amid a 51 to 43 poll split with 6% undecided. The measure would divert about 400 million from wealthy districts to poorer ones, with White voters evenly split and Black and Hispanic voters favoring it. Senate backing appears fragile, while other items include a Smart Jobs Fund and park management shift to Texas Rural Communities. Texas officials face candidate maneuvers around Lloyd Bentsen’s Senate seat as Mattox and Krueger vie for votes.
