ICYMI: Press Conference on Conservative Texas Budget Video Available
Today the Texas Public Policy Foundation and its allies in the Conservative Texas Budget Coalition at a press conference at the State Capitol called on the 85th Texas Legislature to sustain the momentum for responsible spending. The Coalition proposed three steps: capping the increase in the 2018-19 budget at no more than $218.5 billion based on a 4.5 percent growth in population plus inflation during the last two fiscal years; eliminating the state’s costly business margins tax; and structurally reforming property taxes.
