Hegar weighs in on Senate sales tax deferral plan

"If the estimated $2.2 billion in sales tax collections in fiscal 2018 for the highway fund were transferred in September 2018, and the $2.5 billion in fiscal 2019 sales taxes were transferred in September 2019, then there would be a gain to certification of $2.5 billion for the 2018-19 biennium."

Comptroller Glenn Hegar's response to Finance Chair Jane Nelson can be downloaded here.
