Hobby, Lewis foresee
second special session
AUSTIN (AP) — The Legis
lature’s two top officials, acknowl
edging that lawmakers have been
unable to balance the budget in this
special session, said Monday they ex
pect Gov. Mark \Vhite to call them
back for another try.
“I don’t know whether it will be on
Friday or the following Monday or
some other date,” Lt. Gov. Bill
Hobby said. “But he will call one
very soon.”
House Speaker Gib Lewis said he
“thought 30 days would be sufficient
time, but apparently it has not
been.”
White, who opened this special
session on Aug. 6 with a call for a
one-year sales tax increase, did not
announce a date for the next session.
Lewis, who heads a House that
has opposed new taxes since the be
ginning of the special session, said
he still isn’t convinced that taxes
should be raised at this time.
“I want to make sure (the taxpay
ers) are getting the best value for
their tax dollar,” he said. “I’m not
about to be run over and buffaloed
by a bunch of selfish individuals who
want it for their own self interest.”
essence, over, Hobby replied: “Yes it
is.”
Lewis sounded less pessimistic
about the spending cut plan.
“I’d like to conclude work on the
appropriations bill so we could find
a bottom line,” he said.
Hobby said he hopes a permanent
solution could be made on the bud
get in the next session.
If not, the state will be damaging
its future credit, he said.
“Unless something is done fairly
promptly in the third
the state’s checks are goingtoitr

Hobby, who also urged a sales tax
hike to help balance the books, said
chances are gone that a tax bill can
be passed before this session ends at
midnight Thursday.
“That’s my best judgment . . .” he
said. “(A tax bill) has been precluded
for some time.”
Amid talk of another special ses
sion, Hobby said the House and Sen
ate might not reach a compromise
on spending cuts.
Senators approved a $418 million
spending cut plan, while House
members voted to chop $740 mil

"I do not have the disease,”
Stanley said. “I am symptom-free.
