Income taxes
Bullock plan
projects gains
of $12 billion
AUSTIN (AP) — Lt. Gov. Bob
Bullock unveiled details of his
roposed state income tax
hursday, with projections
showing that it could raise more
than $12 billion for state govern
ment by 1994-95.
Bullock has proposed starting
both personal and corporate in
come taxes to raise additional
money for a state budget that is
projected to run at least $4.6 bil
ion short for 1992-93.
But Gov. Ann Richards said
again Thursday that it is too
soon to talk about tax hikes, in
sisting that lawmakers wait for
state auditors to complete a
study of government spending
and for a panel of experts to
make tax recommendations.
"I really think it is premature
to be talking about any kind of
taxation until those two issues
are resolved," she said.
According to a draft of his tax
plan, Bullock's proposal could
reduce the state sales tax levy,
limit local property taxes, give
homeowners and renters income
tax credits for school property le
vies they do pay and eliminate
the corporate franchise tax.
"The net effect of this proposal
is that the state will provide a
fairer tax base for the citizens of
Texas," the proposal says, add
ing that an income tax would
grow with the state's economy
and be more stable than the cur
rent tax system.
Texas today is one of the few
states with neither a personal
nor corporate income levy. State
government relies on numerous
taxes, including the sales taxes,
corporate franchise tax and seve
rance taxes on oil and gas pro
duction.
According to the draft of Bul
lock's plan, a 5 percent state tax
on personal income above
$25,000 for a family of four
would raise $8.2 billion in 1992-
93 and $12.1 billion in 1994-95.
The proposal would exempt
from taxation any retirement.
Social Security and disability in
come, plus armed services pay.
It would give property taxpay
ers a direct credit against their
income tax bill for local school
taxes paid. That would be
phased in, beginning at 33.3 per
cent in 1992 and rising to 100
ercent in 1996, Rate Greenlee,
ullock's press secretary, said.
Renters also would be given a
form of property tax credit.
Police group endorses
civil rights training bill
AUSTIN (AP) — A bill pen
ding before the Legislature to be
an civil rights training for Texas
lawmen and create a task force to
study police abuse was endorsed
Wednesday by a police officers
group.
"Police officers must take the
lead in addressing police abuse
cases," said Ron D^Lord, presi
dent of the 8,500-member Com
bined Law Enforcement Associa
tions of Texas. "The public trust
demands it.
"We cannot and do not con
done incidents like the one that
recently occurred in L.A.," DeL-
ord said in endorsing the bill
sponsored by Sen. Ted Lyon, D-
Rockwall.
Lyon said he was influenced
by the recent videotape that
snowed Los Angeles police beat
ing an unarmed motorist.
"We've all seen the stomach-
wrenching videotape of Los An
geles police officers kicking and
clubbing a black motorist as he
pleaded for mercy," Lyon said.
"As a former policeman myself, I
can tell you that good law offi
cers everywhere are disgusted at
the Los Angeles incident."
His bill, which was approved
March 20 by the Senate Criminal
Justice Committee, would ad
dress "the very root of the bru
tality problem," Lyon said.
The bill would establish a
statewide, comprehensive train
ing program on civil rights, racial
sensitivity and cultural diversity
for police officers, county jailers
and recruits.
In a statement issued by DeL-
ord, he said CLEAT "has real
ized for a long time that there is a
perception in Texas that police in
general are abusive."

Agency gets 'snout'
AUSTIN (AP) — Taxpayers
should squeal like pigs over the
extravagance shown by the Tea
cher Retirement System of
Texas, State Comptroller John
Sharp said Thursday in be
stowing his first "silver snout"
award to the agency.
Sharp criticized top TRS-man
agement for having "their noses
buried deep in the public
trough" when thev spent more
than $700,000 on furnishings for
the system's new headquarters
in Austin.
The pig plaque was accompa
nied by a certificate on which
Sharp said the officials "engaged
in a truly profligate spending
spree in which they exhibited
the imagination and panache —
and the sensitivity — of a Don
ald Trump or a Leona Helms-
ley."
