Texas lawmakers foresee heavier taxes after 1969 bill
Dallas representative Ben Atwell and Texas Research League director James W. McGrew forecast that future state tax needs will exceed the 1969 $348.6 million bill with talks of sales tax boosts and broad-based taxation. Lt. Gov. Ben Barnes echoed a looming major tax bill unless federal aid or revenue sharing covers welfare costs, while all agree a corporate and personal income tax is likely this decade. A separate note adds delay on auto insurance rate hearings, delaying any increases. Major crime in Texas rose 19.9 percent in the first half of 1970 with robberies, rapes, murders, and other offenses increasing notably.
