AUSTIN — Another judge has
been chosen to preside in the
criminal trial of U.S. Sen. Kay
Bailey Hutchison, and the senator's
lawyers have petitioned the court
to move the trial away from Travis
County.
Hutchison's chief attorney, Dick
DeGuerin, filed motions for a
change of venue in state District
Court last week saying she could
not get a fair trial in Travis County
because of unfavorable publicity
and a negative political climate. *
The Republican senator was
indicted Dec. 8 by a Travis County
grand jury on four felony charges of
using state employees for personal

years since I wrote the first one. As an old year draws to a close, it is
always profitable to pause for reflection and introspection.

Democratic primary.
The winner probably will face
Hutchison, who won the office by
a landslide in June.
Andrews, 49, a 13-year veteran
of the House and a member of
the tax-writing Ways and Means
Committee, said he represents the
middle class and moderate Texans.
Mattox blasted Hutchison in his
announcement, blaming her for the
loss of the superconducting super
collider project in Texas and saying
Texas needs a Democratic senator
to work with the Democratic-
controlled Congress and White
House.
Ry lander vs. Nabers
Republican Carole Keeton Ry-
lander announced her candidacy
for the Texas Railroad Commission
with a pledge to end state regulation
of trucking.
Rylander, 54, accused the Demo-

of blocking deregulation and said
she would end the "good ole boy
and good ole girl school of poli-
tics" at the agency.

my point of view is sometimes different than your point of view.
Sometimes I have heard from some of you who did not agree. I am not
sure my publishers have always agreed, but they have never refused to run
the column. I have had one censor, however, my wife. She has exercised
her option only intrequently by saying, "you can't write about that.”
Listening to her has probably kept me out of trouble.
Each column is approximately two hundred and fifty words. So in
twelve years I have written about one hundred fifty thousand words. We
have run the gamut of subjects. We have written about political issues,
social issues, personal issues, the weather, geography, history, TV, food,
sports, health issues, schools and nature. I have even had a few columns
about my pets. Some subjects have heen suggested by you who read me
regularly, and I thank you. We have tried to keep our treatment of each
subject on the light side. Occasionally that has not been possible.
I uidmg something to write about has never been difficult, which to write
about has given me a problem to two.
I want all of you to know that writing this column has been most
enjoyable. We promise to keep you informed about how we feel about any
issues that come up in 1994. We may not always agree, but we can
always talk and we can always listen.
