Star-Telegram | 08/03/2005 | 2 senators offer way to end gridlock: "As hope wanes for comprehensive tax and education changes, a bipartisan pair of state senators Tuesday proposed an exit strategy for the rudderless Texas Legislature.
State Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-Houston, and Sen. Kevin Eltife, R-Tyler, unveiled a $1.8 billion plan to increase teacher pay and deliver to Texas schoolchildren millions of textbooks that were ordered long ago but never funded.
The senators said those two items enjoy broad support in the Legislature but haven't advanced because they're in controversial tax and education measures that have tied the House and Senate in knots."
