Opposition to an increase in the sales tax. The total to be raised for education from the sales tax and other measures is $550 million the amount All sides agree is necessary to help poorer districts reach parity with better off ones. Clements called the legislature to Convene monday for a special session the sixth in Texas in less than a year to consider the latest plan. In Texas a Law cannot go into effect sooner than 90 Days after it is passed unless it is approved by two thirds of each House of the legislature so approval by that margin will be needed next week.
