Measures For Erasing Tax Obstacles In Texas Legislature
In a swift House Revenue Committee session three measures aimed at deficit erasure were advanced. They include a corporate tax base reform, a 100 percent rate proposal on certain franchised firms, and an escheat law revision. Debate centered on impact to business and revenue as lawmakers pushed upcoming session deadlines. A referendum proposal on payroll, income, or sales taxes failed 81 to 65, delaying a public vote before February end. Horse racing and pari mutuel betting on a local option basis emerged as a constitutional amendment proposal, drawing church leaders’ opposition over gambling concerns.
