for welfare programs and public school
enrollments.
To combat the shortfalls, lawmakers
adopted about $2 billion in cuts that were
identified in audits by the state comptroller’s
office, scrounging for federal funds and
making more programs pay for themselves.
Prison construction, assistance for' higher
education along the Texas-Mexico border and
an immunization program for Texas children
emerged as funding priorities in the budget,
budget leaders said.
“This is a good news budget for Texas.
There are no new taxes and we held the line
on spending,’’ said Richards’ spokeswoman
Margaret Justus.
The spending plan is about 11.4 percent
more than the 1992-93 budget total of $62.9
billion.
The estimated total also is more than earlier
versions passed by the House and Senate,
which were about $67.5 billion and $69.7
billion, respectively.
Included in the proposal is a $1 billion
increase over current state spending for public
schools, and a $4.3 billion increase in health
and human services spending.

AUSTIN (AP) — There will be no new
taxes, but many of the same old problems
under a $70.1 billion, two-year state budget
approved by the Legislature and sent to Gov.
Ann Richards.
The budget is about an 11.4 percent
increase over current spending.
“They said this couldn’t be done without a
tax increase, but we did it,” said Lt. Gov. Bob
Bullock.
But the state will continue to battle shor-
tages of funding for public schools and
assistance for the needy, lawmakers said
Thursday.
“Nobody got everything they wanted,” said
Rep. Robert Junell, D-San Angelo, chairman
of the House budget-writing committee. “But
we have kept people at what we funded them
last year or greater in many instances. And we
have tried to maximize the use of federal
funds.”
Sen. John Montford, D-Lubbock, and chair-
man of the Senate Finance Committee,
described the budget as “a Chevrolet with no
white walls.”
State leaders refused to support a tax
increase while facing large jumps in demand
