House tentatively passes bill tapping one-third of rainy day fund, 142-2

The House tentatively approved Thursday night a bill to draw down $3.1 billion of rainy-day dollars to help erase the state's current-year budget deficit.
The vote was 142-2. Only Reps. Barbara Mallory Carraway, D-Dallas, and Gary Elkins, R-Houston, voted against, though Mallory Carraway later said she "was confused" and asked House officials to change her vote to "aye," though that doesn't count, in the House journal.
