A small price: A modest fee on international wire transfers could relieve pressure on hospitals ”” and on immigrants
“Bills that create new revenue streams often need several passes before the Legislature grants their approval. That’s the case with a thoughtful proposal by Harris County Commissioner Sylvia Garcia, who wants to defray Harris County Hospital District costs by attaching a small fee to out-of-country wire transfers.
Submitted by two state representatives and a senator in 2005, the proposal didn’t get out of committee. But the idea is gaining steam again this year. It deserves serious consideration, free of election-year hysteria about invaders from the south.”
