STATE CAPITAL
By Lyndell William*
TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION
HS1
AUSTIN—Texas legislators
already have been called back to
Austin onfce this summer for a
special session, but at least one
representative thinks the
Legislature must convene once
more before the regular session
begins in January.
LaMarque Rep. Lloyd Criss this
week called on Gov. Bill Clements
to call another special session in an
attempt to forestall an estimated
1,800 percent increase in the
unemployment taxes paid by
Texas employers.
That increase, which would boost
the tax from $6 per employee to
about $120 per employee, will take
effect “automatically in October to
raise the Unemployment
Compensation Fund back to the
$225 million floor required by law.
The fund has been drained
recently by the large increase in
the state’s unemployement rate.
Criss says the mammoth
increase would impact not only
employers, but workers and
consumers as well.
“This sudden tax increase could
not come at a worse time for the
Texas economy,” Criss says,
adding that it “would bankrupt
many marginal companies... and
inevitable increase prices for
consumers.”
The La Marque Democrat has
asked the Legislative Council to
draft four-point legislation to
repeal the $225 million floor, raise
in minimum tax rate, raise the
wage base for the tax and assess
penalties based on the prime
penalties based on the prime
lending rate for late payment of the
tax.
Gov Clements had not
responded to Criss request, but
earlier had voiced similar opinions
about the adverse effects such a
huge increase could have.
Clements' Endorsemens
Texas Attorney General and
Democratic gubernatorial
nominee Mark White may believe
his party is more unified this
election year than is has been for^
several years past, but more and
more leading Democrats appear to
be lining up behind-Gov. Clements
the RepqbhcanmWtftftbent. V .?,•
Clements has now received the
endorsements of four former
Democratic attorneys general and
the widow of a fifth
democrats Waggoner Carr, Will
Wilson, John Ben Shepperd and
Gerald Mann have all thrown their
support to Clements. In addition,
Mrs Margaret Martin, the widow
of former attorney general
Crawford Martin, also endorsed
Clements.
The endorsements came on the
heels of House Speaker Bill
Clayton’s “near endorsement” of
Clements last week.
Clayton had high praise for the
Dallas Republican’s preformance
as governor, but stopped short of
officially backing him against
White.
Carr’s endorsement of Clements
must have been a particularly
bitter pill for White to swallow
since Carr was White’s boss when
the current 'attorney general
served as an assistant to Capr
during the 1960s.
“Mark White did his job'AVell,”
Carr said, but he chose^to back
Clements because pf his “strong
leadership.” x'"
Automobile Insurance
The insurance industry this week
unveiled its recommended
increases in automobile insurance
rates and asked the State Board of
Insurance for nearly twice as much
as recommended by the board’s
staff.
The Texas Automobile Insurance
Service Office recommended an
average statewide increase of 33.2
percent for auto rates. That hike
would generate an additional $587
million for insurance companies.
The SB I staff has recommended
only 17.3 percent, or about $306
million in additional revenues each
year
The industry recommendation
apparently would place the greater
portion of the burden of higher
rates on car owners in small cities
and rural areas, with proposed
rates for those areas higher than
the staff proposal Rates proposed
for the large urban areas are less
than those recommended by the
board staff.
However, the industry
recommendations were an
average increase for each rating
territory, while the staff figures
were broken down for a particular
type of car.
The board will hold additional
hearings on the rates later this
month, but the new rates are to be
adopted and placed into effect by
November.
