AUSTIN – The first draft of Texas' new budget will eliminate about 8,000 state jobs and stay within available revenue, which is almost $8 billion lower than the last budget, Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst said Thursday.
The initial "bill is not going to be pretty; it never is," he said. The Texas House is expected to make the bill public Tuesday.
