Texas 60th Legislature Closes With Notable Achievements
The 60th Texas Legislature wraps up a busy session led by Gov. Connally. Major actions include a 1968 budget of 2.4 billion dollars, substantial pay raises for state workers, Medicaid expansion, and increased education funding. Open meetings law passed, reapportionment approved for Congress and state houses, water program funding boosted, and pollution controls strengthened. A constitutional revision and liquor-by-the-drink proposals failed, while a parimutuel wagering referendum was approved for May primary ballots.
