Funds sought for reforms
Tax increases likely choici
United Press International
AUSTIN — Increases in the
gasoline and sales taxes are the
most likely choices to finance a
$1.6 billion plan to overhaul
Texas’ public school system,
Gov. Mark White said Tuesday.
White said his tax plan, which
he hopes to have finalized
within a week to 10 days, may
also include some new sin taxes
on such luxury items as liquor
and tobacco.
“Those two (gasoline and
sales taxes) seem to have the
greatest support at this time,”
he said during an impromtu
news conference. “There’s
some reason to believe there
will be some luxury taxes in
volved.
“I’m going to try to make
sure we don’t offer up too many
things to divert a concensus. We
want to make a proposal
around which everyone can say
yes.”
White is expected to call a
special session of the Texas
Legislature in May or June to
address education reforms rec
ommended by H. Ross Perot’s
Select Committee on Public Ed
ucation.
The committee, which has
been studying the Texas public
school system for 10 months,
meets in Dallas Thursday to
present the final draft of its
proposals.
Whit,e said the tax plan being
developed by his staff, in coop
eration with Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby
and House Speaker Gib Lewis,
would call for additional educa
tion expenditures over the next
three years of about $1.6 bil
lion.
The state currently spends
about $4 billion a year for edu
cation.
Comptroller Bob Bullock, a
member of the Perot commit
tee, had suggested earlier the
education reforms would cost
nearly $20 billion.
But White said the proposals
to which Bullock referred were
“Cadillacs with fins on it,” add
ing, “We’re looking at what we
consider the essentials of this
education program.”
While said the essentials in
clude a pay raise for teachers,
equalization aid to school dis
tricts, improved student-tea
cher ratios, language devel
opment, and additional
remedial and advanced pro
grams.
The governor said he will
stick by his earlier recommen
dation that teachers receive a
two-year, 24 percent pay hike.
Perot said Mondayihal
Legislature does notrepij

of Education with an ay
panel, all of the edua

But White said aid
also supports an a
board, Perot should un
the workings of the 1
process.
“I didn’t get eventls
asked for from the Leg!
he said. “One thingyoult
a democracy is you donis]
have it exactly thewayy
it.
“You work from
