AUSTIN — House budget chief Jim Pitts says he’s optimistic House lawmakers will draw down almost half of the state’s rainy-day fund to close this year’s operating deficit. “We can get the votes,” Pitts, R-Waxahachie, said Thursday. Trying to convince fellow Republicans they have no choice but to use rainy-day money, Pitts and Rep. Jimmie Don Aycock, R-Killeen, closely questioned Comptroller Susan Combs as she appeared before the Appropriations Committee.
