Watson advances budget transparency, 'truth in taxation' measures

Sen. Kirk Watson, D-Austin, tacked several parts of his "honesty agenda" onto three fiscal matters bills approved Friday by the Texas Senate. On the big "non-tax revenue" bill, Watson manuevered to win GOP leaders' acceptance of a provision that would pour more sunshine on key budget writers' use of "budget execution authority" to make cuts and move money around when the Legislature is not in session.
