It's the easy way to get local service, great calling features like
Caller ID and Call Waiting ID. and 120 minutes of domestic long
distance, all together on one bill for one flat monthly rate. It's a
savings of more than 30% compared to ordering the included Sprint
services separately. And now, additional domestic long distance
calls are just 6 CCIltS 8 milUltO, anytime, anywhere.
It doesn't get much easier than that.

Sherwood Forest once again will
be dangerous territory for Robin
Hood once the Legislature convenes
In this case, of course, Robin Hood
is not a clever road agent in green .
tights who robs from the rich and
gives to the poor, but the metaphor
used for the state’s complicated school
finance system.
That system essentially does the
same thing by funneling tax dollars
from the richer school districts in
Texas to the poorer districts.
Because of that, the formula has
had plenty of sharptipped arrows sent
in its direction since the funding
plan’s adoption in 1993.
Sticking with metaphors, more are
in the quiver. A new plan, proposed
last week by acting Lt Gov. Bill Ratliff
at a meeting of the Legislature’s Joint
Committee on School Finance, would
depend on a statewide property tax to
balance funds between districts with
ample income and districts without
A proposal is not a reality, but it’s
a starting place. Bottom line: School
finance will be a huge issue next ses-
sion no matter who gets elected gov-
ernor.
Perry grtn cops, loses doctors...
For the first time in its history, the
Combined Law Enforcement Associa-
tions of Texas, better known as
CLEAT, has endorsed a Republican
gubernatorial candidate, Rkk Perry.
The organization, which represents
some 13,000 Texas police officers,
said it didn’t like Democratic candi-
date Tony Sanchez* take on prison
funding.
But many of the state’s doctors
(the Texas Medical Association has
some 30,000 of them on its member-
ship list) are pulling the plug on any
support for Perry in retaliation for his
surprise veto last year of a prompt
payment bill aimed at insurance com-
panies.
Longview Dr. John R Coppedge,
who said he had raised $100,000pkis
for Perry over the years, recently an-
nounced his support for Sanchez.
Other doctors are expected to pre-
scribe the same medicine for the gov-
ernor.
While Texas has more police of-
ficers (40,000-plus) than doctors, the
men and women with M.D. behind
their name have more political contri-
bution money to spend.
Static over electric deregulation...
Public Power Pool, a group repre-
senting Texas local governments, has
filed a petition with the state Public
Utility Commission seeking reim-
bursement of money they say has
been lost because of delays in being
converted to new electrical suppliers.
The filing was on behalf of 46 lo-
cal governmental entities across the
state.
The simple version of their argu-
ment is that they signed contracts
under the state’s electric deregulation
law that are not yet being honored
because of delays. Because of that,
they say, they have lost millions of
dollars in rate savings.
Equal access follow-up...
The news last week was that Play-
boy magazine is planning a “Girls of
Enron" issue. Playgirl magazine has
responded to that with plans for a
“Guys of Enron” photo spread.
Talk about losing a suit And no.
this was not an April Fool’s gag.
Former employees of the bankrupt
once-upon-a-time Texas business gi-
ant stand to make a little money off
their career misfortune by literally
losing their shirt.
All this proves that despite the
lackluster economy, capitalism is do-
ing just fine.
