House budget writers OK higher lobbyist fees, suspending sales tax holiday

Lobbyists would have their registration fees doubled, to $1,000, and the August sales tax holiday would be suspended this summer and again next year under two of the seven "fiscal matters" and non-tax revenue bills approved by the House Appropriations Committee on Monday.
After 2012, there would be a review of whether the state is flush enough to reinstate the sales tax holiday, said Rep. Jim Pitts, R-Waxahachie, the committee's chairman.
