Spending freeze bill passes Senate
f iroved a bill Monday that would
reeze some
centrate
with Texas’ top
cials — governor, lieutenant gover
nor and House speaker.
“It is essential that we get a control
on the spending side of state govern
ment before we. even start talking
about revenue problems,” Sen. John
Montford, D-Lubbock, said.
The Senate passed Montford’s bill
to the House, 29-0, but Montford
said he thought House amendments
would result in the final version be
ing written by a Senate-House con
ference committee.
Montford, chairman of the Senate
Finance Committee, said the state
comptroller had estimated that the
bill would save $50 million in the fis
cal year ending Aug. 31 and an addi
tional $90 million over the 1992-93
biennium.
The bill would freeze spending
“There is just a great deal of misunderstanding
on how the concept will work overall. Tm sold
on the concept, and I’m like everybody else —
I’d like to see... what happens when it gets
over here.”
' — Gib Lewis,
House speaker
and hiring beginning Friday and
would launch an intense round of
audits and reviews to streamline
state government to help make up a
$296 million deficit this fiscal year.
“In order to respond immediately
to this deficit, this is the best idea we
could come up with,” Montford said.
In addition, lawmakers face a
shortfall of $4.5 billion to $4.6 bil
lion to continue the current level of
state services for the next two years.
The bill would place Gov. Ann
Richards, Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock and
Speaker Gib Lewis, D-Fort Worth, in
charge of overseeing the review of
all state agencies, programs and
services conducted by another new
board called the Performance Audit
Panel.
The seven-member audit panel
would be headed by state Comptrol
ler John Sharp.
Caught up in the spending freeze
would be state hirings; purchase and
leasing of equipment; construction;
and consultants, unless a waiverwa!
obtained from the Legislative Bud
get Board.
Exempt from the freeze would be
funding for schools; prison con
struction; mental health facilities
youth correctional facilities; and Ca-
pitol restoration.
To meet a self-imposed Fridas
deadline is “going to be quite a feat,
Montford said. “Every day lost
you’re going to obviously not have as
much money recouped.”
Speaker Lewis said, “Our plan is
to put it on the fast track,” but he
added that it would be very difficuli
to win 100 votes of the 150-member
House for immediate effect of the
proposal.
“There is just a great deal of mis
understanding on how the concept
will work overall. I’m sold on the
concept, and I'm like everybody else
— I’d like to see ... what happens
when it gets over here,” Lewis said.

School finance
alternatives
considered
AUSTIN (AP) — State leaden
said Monday they are examining
other school finance alternatives be
sides a proposed statewide propern
tax that would replace tne locals
property levy for schools.
Both Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock andj
House Speaker Gib Lewis said the4
still see the statewide tax as the top'
option for meeting the Texas Su-[
preme Court order to balance fund
ing between rich and poor schools
districts.
Gov. Ann Richards, who last wed
said a statewide tax could be placed
before voters as a take-it or leaven
option to court control of school fi
nances, said no decision has been
made.
“There are no done deals here,
Richards told a meeting of school ;
administrators. “Every possible solu
tion is on the table for discussion
among the state’s leadership.”
The Supreme Court, in a 9-0 vote,
declared the school finance system
unconstitutional and said the state
must act by April 1 or face an order
to stop state spending on schools.
“1 think it will be very dear and
very simple for you, if you will read
the court’s decision, that if ... the
public does not agree to the system
that we devise, you can get ready to
have your schools administered by
the courts of Texas,” Richards said
Asked later whether the proposed
state property tax is the best solu
tion, Richards said, “I don’t know
that we know that.”
“There is no perfect plan. 1 will
guarantee you that,” she said. “The
question is just trying to find the one
that ... will actually work and that we
can get done.”
Bullock called the statewide prop
erty tax “a good, clean-cut way” to
reform school finance.
“That doesn’t make it the best
way, but it looks like it’s still righi
there on top,” he said.
The proposed constitutional
amendment would require approval
of two-thirds of the Legislature and
voter approval in a statewide elec
tion. A number of school districts,
including large districts and poor
ones, say they are troubled by the
plan.
Lewis, D-Fort Worth, said it is
“very difficult” to pass any constitu
tional amendment that has opposi
tion.
He has appointed a group of law
makers to draft an alternative to the
property tax proposal in case it fails
