Straus urges budget writers not to raise taxes

Garrett reports from House Appropriations hearing:

Texas House Speaker Joe Straus urged House budget writers today to avoid raising taxes and look for creative ways to curtail spending as they prepare to close a budget gap next session that many experts think could top $15 billion.


Straus, R-San Antonio, said in a rare appearance before the Appropriations Committee that the trick will be to write "a balanced, no new taxes state budget in the face of a daunting shortfall."
