Kubiak: no property
tax for college funds
by John P. Lopez
Battalion Reporter
State Representative Dan
|Kubiak said Thursday that col
es and universities outside
Ithe jurisdiction of the Perma-
Inent University Fund should be
[funded through general
[appropriations and surplus re
venue — not a state property
|tax.
He said no new property tax
vould be needed if a permanent
|nterest-drawing fund was set
ap over a series of years. Kubiak,
candidate for land commis-
feioner, told a group of suppor-
|ers at the College Station Rama-
da Inn:
‘The matters in Washington
bre going to greatly impose
additional tax needs on local
governments. You cannot con
tinue to carry the burden on the
property tax.”
The land commissioner man
ages the 22.5 million acres of
land and the revenue from that
property from which the PUF is
derived. PUF finances construc
tion projects at the University of
Texas and Texas A&M Univer
sity.
“We should be working on
ways to increase productivity in
all our state offices and rely on
our present tax sources rather
than looking for new ways to
reach into people’s wallets for
some of their hard-earned dol
lars,” he said.
Two opposing candidates,
Kubiak said, have called for a
fund which would cost tax
payers $1 billion by 1990.
“The state should stay out of
the property tax business,” he
said. “People are already infuri
ated with skyrocketing local
taxes.”
Kubiak said that if the PUF is
distributed to all colleges and
universities, the fund would
eventually be destroyed.
“If the fund ever gets that
big, all schools would be reduced
to mediocrity,” he said. “The
Permanent University Fund is
the sole reason we have two uni
versities in the state of Texas
that are leading institutions in
the United States. Without the
fund, Texas A&M would be a
skeleton of what it is today.”
Kubiak said there aren’t
many changes he would impose
if elected.
