rates by an. average of 10-5 per-

■ The Texas Senate last week Were initiated by the states, on many different grounds, and
voted to make it a felony to sell
drugs that injure or kill the buyer.
Sen. Florence Shapiro, R-Plano,
said her bill would make it a sec-
ond-degree felony, punishable by
15 years in prison, if the drug
buyer suffers bodily injury or
death.

the cases involved a wide variety of issues beyond health-
care costs.
These settlements belong to the states and should be
used for the benefit of our states’ residents — not to help
a federal bureaucracy balance its_books.
Federal Medicaid law entitles the federal government
to a certain share of fiinds that states recover in situations
such as when a hospital is discovered overcharging Med-
icaid for a particular health service, or when someone
receives care paid for by Medicaid when he or she is
covered by private insurance. The law was never intended
to be used in situations such as the tobacco litigation.-
After learning of the administration’s intentions, 1
introduced a bill to stop the federal government from
ore often than not, the federal government’s seizing these funds. My legislation is written to ensure that
motto seems to be: “What’s mine is mine, ancH every dollar obtained by the states stays with the states. Ii
what’s yours is mine.” A case in point is the U.S. enjoys the overwhelming support of state officials in Texas
and elsewhere. In fact, all 50 state governors support m>
legislation and the National Governors Association has
called it their number one federal priority.
Many states, Texas included, are using their settlements
to achieve responsible, health-conscious goals, and tht
administration’s grab puts such initiatives at risk. And indi-
vidual Texas counties have a big stake in the tobacco settle
ment funds. They are in line to receive more than $2 billion
starting with a lump sum payment of $300 million this year
Many of our counties are hard-pressed to fund and maintair
their public hospitals. These funds will help make sure that tht
health-care safety net for all Texans is preserved.
The states didn’t get help from Washington when they
decided to pursue the tobacco settlements. It’s plain wron&
for Washington to now claim 57 percent of Texas’ $1'
billion — robbing our counties and state health-care pro
grams. I will fight to stop that from happening.
We want to thank the people of
Dublin for all the many things you
have done for us following the fire
erw-at our home. We have so many
'an blessings to be grateful for.

The library workshop that hap-
pened Tuesday of last week was a
good idea that apparently spawned
even more ideas. Janey Milhollin,
a new volunteer who attended the
afternoon session, said afterward
ideas were just flowing like water.
Librarian Sandra Thomas, who di-
rected the workshop and whose
idea it was to have it in the first
place, was pleased with the re-
sponse. I think she would have
been more pleased to see fewer
empty chairs, but you have to start
somewhere. Next time, maybe ev-
erybody will come back and bring
a friend or two.
Robin Cole has volunteered to
have an after-school story hour for
primary grade children. Janey Mil-
hollin, who is bilingual, has volun-
teered for special services for

we moved the library from old to
temporary and then to the present
building and I can testify it beats
an afternoon at the spa any time.
It’s a calorie-burning, muscle-ton-
ing, nerve-tingling workout, and
worse, it’s like eating; it has to be
done every day. But that’s the way
we want it. If people didn’t check
out books and bring them back,
we’d be out of business.
Also, new at the library is The
Dallas Morning News. Every week
day. The Dublin distributor came
in to ask the library to subscribe,
and when Sandra told him we
couldn’t afford it, he said, “Well,
I’ll give it to you." How nice! It
sore throat, but it takes a little
more study and concentration than
I could grant over the weekend. I’ll
try again after the fog lifts.
Billed as “An Ancient Healing
System for Contemporary
Women,” it reveals 24 secret
points of-Chinese acupressure and
“demonstrates how acupressure can
be used as a therapy for addictions,
depression, and how it can help
heal the scars left by physical and
emotional abuse.” A reviewer
states “It demystifies Oriental
medicine and introduces the basic
principles behind holistic healing."

this work and it should enlighten

“These fax machines, printers
and computers will be instrumental
in assisting local prosecutors,” said
Attorney General Comyn. “I am
