At about $12 billion dollars, Texas is sitting pretty with its highest-in-the-nation rainy day fund. Now some Central Texas lawmakers think it should be used to help fund the state’s public schools. Republican John Cyrier (Seer-ee-ay) of Lockhart is one of them.
Democrat Donna Howard of Austin also favors using some of the economic stabilization fund, as it is known to help relieve taxpayers as well as to invest a portion of it for greater yield.
