The governor has said he would
veto any new tax bill, but now
he’s snookered, and snookered so
handily that he probably is quite
pleased.
Some House Republicans don’t
think they can muster the 51 votes
from their own ranks to block a
Democratic override. That would
be embarrassing for Clements and
the GOP.
The tricky House tacked on an
amendment which states if the tax
bill is not approved, then funding
for 45 state agencies and 15
colleges is automatically wiped
out to balance the budget.
Move to Taos
Not even Bill CLements can
take that much heat. He who has
fended off the jackals over
Ponygate, the "‘secret plan!’ and
the compromise flipflops, would
probably consider a move to Taos

There are 60 million campers in
the United States, including 40
percent who do their camping in
some form of recreational
vehicle. The U.S. Travel Data
sprvy predicts a five percent
increase in vacations over last
summer and an eight percent rise
in travel by RV, car and light
truck. According to the survey,
Americans will use RVs, campers
and tents for their lodging on ten
percent of all vacations taken this
summer.

As explained when the three
met the press, the compromise
proposed an increased state
budget with no cuts for
education, an expansion of the
sales tax base, and budget
authority for the governor. And
no veto.
The plan was publicly scrapped
when Texas Republican Party
leaders kicked up a ruckus about
Clements caving in to new taxes.
So he raked the press and backed
out of the compromise.
Basically, the House is
arranging to give Clements his
budget powers and the Senate its
tax hike and spending levels.
What does the House get? Its
members get to go home,
knowing, as one observer put it,
“it pulled the state’s potato out of
