Rainy day money lets Texas budget writers fill holes, but some say craters remain

AUSTIN — Four community colleges wouldn’t be closed, more than 10,000 disabled Texans wouldn’t lose in-home services, and Child Protective Services wouldn’t lose about 500 front-line workers under the House’s latest version of a two-year state budget. Even with a few billion added after resolution of a deadlock over rainy day money, though, the House’s emerging budget remains rife with painful cuts, advocates complained Wednesday.
