HIGHLIGHTS
By Ed Sterling
TEXAS PRESS ASSOCIATION
AUSTIN — Many Texas law-
makers are operating district of-
fices that aren’t fully accessible to
people with disabilities, a violation
of state and federal law, the Aus-
tin American-Statesman reported
last week.
State inspectors found that 67
district offices for state represen-
tatives and 43 district offices for
senators were in inaccessible
buildings.
Offices leased by the state must
be in accessible buildings, accord-
ing to Texas law. In 1997, the Leg-
islature voted to require inspec-
tions before the state occupies
leased space.
But some lawmakers whose
district offices are inaccessible
want to exempt themselves from
the law before the state can impose
$1,000-a-day fines against the
building owners or cancel leases.
The Texas Department of Li-
censing and Regulation has agreed
to consider hardship cases after
Rep. Rob Junell, D-San Angelo,
and Sen. Bill Ratliff, R-Mount
Pleasant, chairmen of the Leg-
islature’s two budget-writing com-
mittees, wrote to the agency.
“We’ve got to do something or
our members are going to be op-
erating out of their kitchens,”
Ratliff said.
MISD Substitute Teacher Training to be Held
A training session will be held on Friday, August 28th, from 8:30 AM
to 11:30 AM, in the Mercedes Independent School District,
Administration Office, for persons wishing to work as substitute
teachers, during the 1998 - 1999 school year.
Advocates for access oppose
such exemptions. They said that
if the Legislature approves waiv-
ers for itself, they plan to force
district offices to become acces-
sible under the federal law.
“I think it’s pretty amazing that
lawmakers seem to think they
ought to be above the law,” Jim
Harrington, legal director of the
Texas Civil Rights Project, told the
newspaper. “If they can pass a law,
they ought to comply with the
law.”
Belinda Carlton, executive di-
rector of the Coalition for Texans
with Disabilities, said her group
“just doesn’t have any sympathy
here.”
Groups Call for Electronic Filing
State law requires candidates
for public office to file campaign
finance reports with the Texas Eth-
ics Commission, but the reports
need only be furnished on paper.
Last week, two government
watchdog groups called on candi-
dates to make it easier for Texans
wanting to find out who is giving
money to political campaigns,
simply by filing campaign finance
reports electronically.
Craig McDonald of Texans for
Public Justice and Tom Smith of
Public Citizen asked candidates to
voluntarily file electronically so
information seekers can find what
they’re looking for via the Internet
on the Ethics Commission web
site, www.ethics.state.tx.us/.
Youth-Crime Entity Is Proposed
Tony Fabelo, executive direc-
tor of the Texas Criminal Justice
Policy Council, last week recom-
mended the creation of a single
entity to coordinate the efforts of
18 state agencies operating pro-
grams aimed at curbing youth
crime.
A “Prevention Services Divi-
sion” under the Department of
Protective and Regulatory Ser-
vices could serve as a one-stop
shopping location, helping fami-
lies find the right place to seek as-
sistance, Fabelo said.
Presently, there are nearly 70
programs addressing at-risk youth,
administered by the various state •
agencies.
Laser Hair Removal Scrutinized
The Texas Department of
Health last week said it is investi-
gating reports of unauthorized use
of lasers for hair removal by spas,
salons and fitness clubs.
Two reports were from people
claiming injuries as a result of la-
ser treatments.
State regulations require that •
hair removal lasers be operated
only under the supervision of li-
censed practitioners with medical
training.
Injury to patients may result
from unauthorized use of these
devices for cosmetic purposes.
Denied Claims to Be Reviewed
State insurance regulators said@
last week they will review home-
owner claims for cracked founda-
tions that have been denied by in-
surers since 1993.
Texas Insurance Commissioner
Elton Borner ordered property in-
surers to report denied claims for
foundation damage from mid-
1993 to mid-1997.
Foundation cracks often are
caused by plumbing leaks. •
A Texas Department of Insur-
ance study shows that water dam-
age has caused up to 20 percent of
all homeowners’ losses.
Lack of Qualified Teachers Noted
Thirty-nine percent of the
nearly quarter-million high school
students who took the Texas As-
sessment of Academic Skills exit •
exam this year failed the algebra
portion.
Texas Education Commissioner
Mike Moses attributed the high
rate of failure to the fact that so
many students have uncertified
math teachers.
