The House and Senate are split over how best to provide property tax relief to Texans and whether the state should use public money to let parents send their kids to private school.
AUSTIN, Texas — With just about six weeks to go in the Texas legislative session, tensions are running high and the gloves are coming off for two big issues dominating debate at the Capitol.
“I can’t call a special session, but I can create one by not passing a key bill that has to pass,” he said when asked about school vouchers. “If we don’t get some major priorities that people want us to pass because [the House] acted very slowly in the session, then I think we ought to finish the job. I’ll leave it at that.”
But the same day the Senate passed that measure, the House took a key vote during its budget debate to ban state funding for “school vouchers or other similar programs.” Still, a House committee has since considered proposals on the subject.The other big sticking point between the two chambers is over property tax relief.
