NEWS IN BRIEF
Comptroller predicts declines In
sales tax for another year
AUSTIN (AP) — A day after revealing that state
sales tax collections dropped for the month of
March, Comptroller Carole Keeton Strayhorn pre
dicted Wednesday that Texas will experience a
second consecutive year of sales tax declines.
"I really do believe that we're going to have a
historic first of back-to-back — two years in a row
— loss in sales tax for the first time in history, an
unfortunate historic first," Strayhorn said.
That's further bad news for state legislators, who
are grappling with a $9.9 billion budget shortfall
and are expected to begin debate on a proposed
budget full of cuts on the House floor next week.
Though there have been worries that the comp
troller might soon make a downward adjustment
in her already dismal revenue estimate, which
tells legislators how much money is available to
spend, Strayhorn declined to say when or if she
would come up with a new estimate. She said
franchise tax collections in mid-May will be an
important factor.
"When you're on razor's edge on revenue esti
mate, everything counts. I'll be very anxious to see
those franchise taxes," she said, adding
could be May 20 before the information is assr
bled.
HealthSouth faces congressioni
investigation for fraud
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) - Fired HealthSoi
CEO Richard Scrushy refused to answer questir
in federal court Wednesday about claims that
company overstated earnings by $2.5 billior

Scrushy faced more than 50 questions from
Hicks of the Securities and Exchange Commissi
but repeatedly invoked his Fifth Amendment[i|
to avoid self-incrimination.
The SEC filed a lawsuit last month accus'
Scrushy and the health care giant he founded
overstating earnings. The hearing was to detf

remain frozen while the government investigal
what it calls a massive accounting fraud

Eight former HealthSouth executives alrea
