FORT WORTH, TX
The Fort Worth Star-Telegram says no legislation has been filed
to add the surcharge, but it's among several recommendations in a
recent Legislative Budget Board to cover an anticipated massive
budget shortfall. The board is a joint committee of top Teas House
and Senate members, including Lt. Gov. David Dewhurst and House
Speaker Joe Straus.
The report says light-duty trucks and sport utility vehicles
pollute more than average size vehicles and are less
energy-efficient.
Other suggestions include repeal of the prohibition of liquor
sales on Sunday and raising the amount state employees pay for
their health insurance.
