Gov.
Bush Committee
"Good Sense"
|
Bush: Today Texas government
has surplus revenue. Now some say we should spend it on a bunch of
government programs.
Not me. I say let's meet the basic needs and invest in our schools. Then let's provide tax relief to the people who pay the bills. So I'm proposing a $2 billion cut in property taxes, a $400 million cut in sales tax, relief for small businesses, and $1.6 billion dollars for teacher pay, new classrooms and reading programs. Investing in schools and cutting taxes makes good sense for Texas. |
