Texas Senate OKs bill raising nearly $4 billion — not from higher taxes

AUSTIN — A fractious Texas Senate, working on Friday for only the second time this session, approved a bill that would raise nearly $4 billion to help pay for its more costly version of the state budget.
Senators approved the “nontax revenue” bill, so named to emphasize ruling Republicans’ distaste for higher taxes, by a vote of 21-10. All 12 Democrats voted “aye.”
