Dueling tax proposals in the Lege
The Texas House passed a bill promising $17 billion in tax relief, a measure that is at odds with the Senate’s tax break plan, according to the Austin American- Statesman. The House bill would lower by half a home’s cap on appraisal increases. It passed overwhelmingly, 1419. However, Lt. Gov. Dan Patrick, who presides over the Senate, said that body will not approve it, preferring its plan to raise property exemptions from $40,000 to $70,000.
