Revenue Sharing Plan For Texas Showcases State Aid
Texas would receive 243 million in federal revenue in the first year under the proposed 5 billion revenue sharing plan. Under Nixon’s plan 47.9 percent of receipts would go to local governments via a complex formula, with Austin at 2.2 million, Travis County 604 thousand, San Antonio 34.68 million and Bexar County 1.16 million. Officials warned figures may be unreliable as grants-in-aid could be reduced. Washington reports indicate administration efforts to reach a workable compromise.
