Public hearing on school finance
alternatives scheduled at Canyon
Representative Tom C. Mas-
sey has announced the schedul-
ing of a public hearing of the
Special House Committee on
Alternatives to Public School
Financing, to be held in Can-
yon, Texas, on May 24. The
hearing will begin at 9 a.m., and
will be in the Activity Center
Ballroom of West Texas State
University.
The hearing will be the
seventh in a series of meetings
throughout the state being
conducted by the Special
Committee. Others have been
held in Houston, Edinburg,
Dallas, Nacogdoches, San
Angelo; hearings are also
planned for Haskell, May 13;
San Antonio, June 4; and
Austin, June 25.
The Special Committee was
appointed by House Speaker
Bill Clayton to look into
revenue sources other than the
tax on real property for funding
public schools. The group is
seeking recommendations from
school personnel, tax assess-
ors-collectors, city and county
officials, and the general
citizenry on this subject. The
committee requests that writ-
ten copies of testimony be
provided if possible.
Rep. Massey is chairman of
the Special Committee. Other
members are: Rep. Fred
Agnich, Dallas; Rep. Wilhei-
mina Delco, Austin; Rep. Roy
Blake, Nacogdoches; Rep
Frank Hartung, Houston; Rep
W.S. (Bill) Heatly, Paducah
Rep. Dan Kubiak, Rockdale
Rep. Camm Lary, Jr., Burnet
Rep. Ruben Torres, Browns
ville.
"When we started this study,
Speaker Clayton told us this
inquiry was 'one of the most
important in recent legislative
history,' and the response
brought about by these public
hearings indicates that many
people agree with him," Massey
said.
"The local share of school
funding has been increasing,
and the local share is dependent
totally on the tax on real
property. Education costs are
higher, because of inflation,
necessary salary increases, and
additional programs, so the
pressure has really been on
local districts to increase their
ad valorem levies. This is
putting a squeeze on our land
owners, home owners, and
businesses, who are shoulder-
ing the burden of education cost
that should be shared by those
possessing other forms of
wealth," he added.
"We in the Legislature are
working hard to hold govern-
ment spending to reasonable
levels. But these hearings are
bringing out that the slogan of
'no new taxes' has come to be a
sore point with some folks who
tell us that while they're not
paying more taxes to the State,
there's a lot more coming out of
their pockets at the local level,
to the city and the school
district," Massey said.
"We can't close our eyes to
the plight of these people. We
may very well, at some point,
want to look toward increasing
the state's share of funding for
our public schools. But to
accomplish any sort of relief for
the property owner, we must
look to increased revenue from
some other source — and this is
the reaftn of the Special
Committee. We have received
many suggestions for alterna-
tive revenue sources, and there
will no doubt be more forth-
coming during the rest of these
public hearings. It will be our
responsibility to look at each in
terms of dollars and cents, and
make appropriate recommend-
ations to the 65th Legislature,
which convenes next January."
"I am pleased that the com-
mittee has decided to locate one
of its public hearings in the
Panhandle, and I hope that all
persons interested in this
matter will take this opportun-
ity to express their views to the
members of the Legislature,"
Massey said.
