Controversy Flows as House Debates Bond Rates and School Credits
In Austin this week the Texas House debated Senate Bill 20 raising municipal bond interest from 5 to 6.5 percent. A second bill would credit attendance for students at both regular and vocational schools, risking loss of state aid. Committees held hearings on Liquor by the Drink, a San Antonio four year college, workers compensation for subdistrict employees, and a 95 page Governor’s Committee report on public education. Veteran lawmakers warned this session could be very contentious and historic.
