Secretary of state
sets record straight
on May 10 ballot
Secretary of State Phil Wil-
son said he received in recent
days many inquiries about a
statewide proposition to pro-
vide school tax relief to eld-
erly or disabled taxpayers.
Voters will find no such propo-
sition on their May 10 ballot.
"Information being circu-
lated across the state regard-
ing a constitutional amend-
ment election to provide
school property tax relief is
inaccurate," said Wilson, the
state's chief elections officer.
"Texans are heading to the
polls to cast votes for many
important initiatives and races,
but there will not be a state-
wide proposition on the bal-
lot."
Early voting for the May 10
elections began April 28 and
ended May 6.
Senators hear
report on YFZ
Carey Cockerell, director of
the Texas Department of Fam-
ily and Protective Services,
testified before a state Senate
committee about the agency's
ongoing investigation of the
polygamist YFZ Ranch near
Eldorado. On April 30,
Cockerell told the Senate
Health and Human Service
Committee that state investi-
gators are still checking for
evidence of various forms of
child abuse that may have
been committed at the 1,700-
acre compound.
The focus had been on mi-
nor girls, but the agency turned
some of its attention to minor
boys. The number of ranch
children in state custody and
placed in foster care increased
to 464 when one of the girls
delivered a healthy baby boy
at a hospital in San Marcos on his former chief of staff, 35-

Due to the large variety of medications and other therapies that are
now available, it is more important than ever to know about the medi-
cines you take. If you take several different medicines, see more than
one doctor, or have certain health conditions, you and your doctors
and one pharmacy need to be aware of all the medicines you take.
Doing so will help you to avoid potential problems such as drug inter-
actions. Drug interactions may increase the action or toxicity of a
particular drug, make medication less effective, or cause unexpected
side effects. Some drug interactions can even be fatal. Reading the
label every time you use a nonprescription or prescription drug and
taking the time to learn about drug interactions may be critical to your
health. When your doctor prescribes a new drug, discuss all OTC and
prescription drugs, dietary supplements, vitamins, botanicals, miner-
als and herbals you take, as well as the foods you eat. By using one
professional pharmacy that maintains your medication profile and pro-
vides personal counseling on the most significant information about
each new prescription, patients can decrease the risk of serious drug
interactions.
