Sagging real estate values widen state deficit

Decreased commercial and industrial property values, an anemic economy and other factors have pushed forecasts of the Texas' real estate values into slightly bearish territory, state officials told House lawmakers today. And that translates into LESS property tax for school districts, which pulls down MORE state aid for public schools and that means a BIGGER state budget shortfall.
