AUSTIN — Thousands of state workers, community activists and union members rallied Wednesday outside the Capitol to protest budget cuts.
They called on lawmakers to use more of the state’s savings and find other revenue to reduce the $23 billion of cuts in the House’s two-year budget.

Higher copays, other hits likely for state workers
Garrett writes:
More than 53,000 people in Dallas and six surrounding counties are likely to be socked with higher copays for doctor visits, hospital stays and prescription drugs, starting Sept. 1, because of skyrocketing costs and lawmakers' underfunding of the health insurance pool for state employees.
This week, the Employees Retirement System of Texas circulated long-awaited details of the proposed benefit cuts at the Capitol, prompting howls in some quarters.
