AUSTIN (AP) – The Texas Senate’s chief budget writer says of differences in sweeping tax-cut proposals between her chamber and the House: “We’re both right.”

The Senate is expected to approve its proposed state budget Tuesday, after the House passed its version following an all-night session two weeks ago.

Nelson supports billions of dollars in property tax cuts, saving the average household around $200 annually.

But House budget writers have backed the first sales tax reduction in state history.

The House plan would cost billions too, while saving the average family of four about $172 per year. It also would benefit everyone, not just homeowners.

Nelson, a Flower Mound Republican, said Monday of her House counterparts, “We’re not spatting with them.”

She added: “This is not that big a difference. It’s not insurmountable.”Copyright 2015 The Associated Press. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten or redistributed.
