Description: During Ben Barnes' term as Speaker of the Texas House of Representatives he recorded a collection of reports in cooperation with local Austin television station, KTBC, for the purpose of keeping the public informed on the 60th Texas Legislature. In this report, Speaker Barnes expresses concern over Governor John Connally's proposed $140 million tax bill for the 60th Texas Legislature. This bill, according to Barnes, does not stand to cover all of the expenses for the services it provides Texas in the coming two years.
