In addifiun to a $70 hiljion two-year
budget without a tax increase, the lopr
goals Hush stressed during his guhur~
nati,i ial campaign were at least partially
achieved.
Here's a rundown of those goafs:
•Induration The centerpiece of
Hush's education reform plan curbs the
regulatory authority of the 'IV.xas Edu-
cation Agency and gives local school
boards more contnildioiiie. rule concept)

• Welfare. 'I'be governor was unable
to persuade the Senate to give Texans

The final hill permits people to reapply ;
aft er one to four years, depending on the
recipient's education and work experi-
ence;
•'I'prt Reform Hush declared nil
emergency on tort reform, and law-
makers promptly passed several mea-
sures aimed at lowering litigation and
placed caps on punitive (lamage awards.
The measure also limits the liability of
police officers and other public employ-
ees when Sued for negligence
•Juvenile Juatiee The governor
said it was time to get tough with juve-
niles, and lawmakers did They lowered
the age at which young criminals can be.

amendments on t in November 7 ballot
will allow voters to decide wbeti)ei to
abolish the State Treasury, " they do,
the comptrolhii's office would takeover

Other hills signed by < iov, Hush would:
•Allow licensed individuals to carry
concealed handgun^ beginning January
1, 1996, which Hush labeled another
"weapon to keep lawabiding citizens
nafe.
• Begin deregulation of the telephone
business and open local service to com
petition and provide $1 5 billion oyer 10
yeiirn for high tech equipment for
schools, librariea and hospitals
• Limit campaign contributions to
judges Hasic limits are $5,000 for a
statewide judicial office, less for lower '
courts. The time period for judicial
candidates to raise funds would tie '20
months. -
• Expand a clearinghouse for back-
ground checks on sex offenders, give
Hbme nun profit groups greater access to
criminal history information, and require
the crime victims be notified if an of-
fender i» placed on community supervi-
sion.,
•Create an automatic life sentence of
36 years without possibility of parole for
anyone convicted of a first-degree felony
sex offense against a child if that person
has two prior felony convictions.
• Allow crime victims to personally
present their views to the Hoard of
Pardon and Paroles before a decision on
an offender is made
•Allow law enforcement agencies to
Share information among themselves on
paroled sex offenders.

If: tiometbing; dfies go wrong irrthe
middle of the job, a good contract "will
help avoid misunderstandings. You
would lie well advised to get a legal
review of"any written contract before
you sign
A schedule of completion daU;s and
"paydoWns" should lie spelled out up

payment you have no further control,
over the outcome of the job.
Liens and insurance
Jf a contractor fails hi pay bills for
labor oi maU-rialH, t?ub contractors or
Suppliers have the. legal right to come
after /on, the horneowr'Hir, for payment
That right is called a mechanic's or
supplier's lien. You could end up paying
twice for the Same work .
Her e are a few things you can do Ui
preverittbis from happening to you:
•Ask your-.insurance-agent or broker
about hen insurant e
^I'lan for hen waivers A waiver oi
release of lien must be aecured from all
subcontractors and suppliers at some
pointduring the job in order for you to be
safe from liens at a later elate
• put the waiver into writing in your
eorit riict 1' or exairi|ile, you could require
thiil you receive a release from any
subcontractor coming onto the job. Or
you could add a clause stating that final
payment will be withheld until prriof of
payment of all subcontractors and sup
pliers is received
•Always keep in mind that an tin
sat Killed lien is an encuiiibi aiice on the
title You caniiiil,M,ell yriur house without
a clear title
Three-day eooling off period

have signed a home improvement con-:

You can legally withdraw from ail
agreement, during tliqse tliree days it
