TO - Let's see what Bush's tax proposal has done for Texas. By Gary Susswein American-Statesman Staff Friday, February 9, 2001 With the state's budget squeeze getting tighter each week, a growing number of Texas lawmakers are speaking openly for the first time in a decade about raising taxes, while others want to tap into a state fund that is set aside for the most dire of fiscal times. You may be nostalgic for Bill Clinton before you know it. "We should have never supported now-President Bush's proposal to return over $1 billion in tax relief. Now, we're really in the hole," said Sen. Carlos Truan, D-Corpus Christi. "He got elected president, yet we were left holding the bag here." And with Bush now proposing a $1.6 trillion cut in federal taxes, several Texas lawmakers said the discussion about the state's fiscal situation is especially timely. "We gave the tax breaks too soon without fully recognizing what our needs are," said Rep. Sylvester Turner, D-Houston, and chairman of the Criminal Justice Appropriations subcommittee. "I hope they don't do that on a national level." TP
