tax on goods might fare better in
the Legislature.
"We have to fashion a system
that doesn’t have a disproportionate
impact on any one business sector,"
he said, and predicted, “You will
see a plan from the governor’s
office, if no where else, that will
have a significant reduction of
property taxes.”
Ratliff and Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock
both expressed doubt regarding
legislators’ willingness to fight the
battles that must be fought to
shift the tax burden. The school
property tax raised $10 billion last
year.
Meanwhile, last week, the Cit-
izens Committee on Property Tax
Relief had its final meeting.. The
panel, appointed by Gov. George
W. Bush, traveled the state seeking
public input on relief from school
property taxes.
Bush spokesman Ray Sulli-
van told the Austin American-
Statesman the governor is looking
forward to the committee’s report.
Sports Park Tax Discussed
The House Business and Indus-
try Committee discussed a proposal
that would allow a city, county or
group of counties to put a resolu-
tion before local voters to acquire,
build or renovate a sports venue
with specific taxes.
The state comptroller would
review such resolutions to ensure
they would not cost the state
money.
Committee chairman Kim B rimer,
R-Arlington, worked to defeat a
similar bill in the 1995 legislative
session that would have allowed tax
dollars to be used for professional
sports facilities.
“Since I killed it, I thought I
ought to come back and try to
clean it up and see if I can do
something with it,” Brimer told the
Associated Press.
Brimer called the 1995 bill
“corporate welfare” and said sports
facilities are regional projects and
should be financed regionally, the
AP reported.
The new proposal includes local
taxing options that would raise
sales and use taxes 0.5 percent,
car rental taxes up to 5 percent,
admission taxes up to $2 per
person, parking tax up to $1 per
vehicle and hotel occupancy tax up
to 2 percent of the room price.
Brimer said the sports facility
proposal is opposed by car rental
companies and the Texas Hotel &
Motel Association.
