Texas Cuts Spending While Protecting Schools | El Paso News
Description
Texas state agencies face a 3% spending cut ordered by top GOP leaders—Governor Abbott, Lt. Governor Patrick, and House Speaker Burrows—as part of a push for fiscal responsibility and potential property tax relief. While the directive targets non-essential spending, critical areas like public schools, Medicaid, CHIP, and foster care remain fully protected. The move comes ahead of the 2027 legislative session, where lawmakers will finalize the state’s $338 billion budget for 2028–2029, aiming to ease financial pressure on families while maintaining core services.
