School board candidate omitted from report
Ray Anderson was inadvertently omitted from last week’s wrap-up of can-
didate filings in the May 11 school board election. Anderson signed up for a full
three-year term as a school trustee on Friday afternoon, shortly before the filing
deadline. Anderson is employed as an independent petroleum landman here in
Canadian and launched his first bid for school trustee in 2012. — LEB
River Valley Pioneer Museum director clarifies potential sale details
The county-owned River Valley Pioneer Museum is the subject of sale nego-
tiations between Canadian ISD and Hemphill County, as we reported last week,
but only the building and land are included in the deal. The museum’s collections
and all other assets will remain the property of the non-profit River Valley Pio-
neer Museum. Few details have been released concerning the negotiations which
are being conducted by
attorneys representing
the county commission
and school board. In ad-
dition, RVPM Direc-
tor Sharon Wright ex-
plained that her board
is not considering con-
structing a separate
building to house the
Horace Rivers Archeo-
logical Collection, as we
reported last week and
had previously under-
stood from discussions
by museum representatives in Commissioners’ Court. Tentative plans—subject
to the successful sale of the building—are to construct an addition that would
provide temperature-controlled storage for the museum’s revolving exhibits.
The museum board and its director continue to work with exhibit designer Bill
Green on how best to incorporate the Horace Rivers Collection into the evolving
exhibit design plan. According to Wright, the collection will be housed within the
museum but in a room separate from the main exhibits but situated closely to the
archeology exhibit. “We have not decided on a final layout yet,” she said, “but ten-
tative plans seem to allow for good flow and at the same time showcases what a
great collection it is.” Wright added that the addition of new storage will free up
more exhibit space. — LEB

TEXAS PRESS ASS0CIATI0II
Work of state budget writers continues
AUSTIN—Movement toward passing a state budget
for the 2014-2015 fiscal biennium continued in commit-
tees of both chambers of the Texas Legislature last
week. After two months of hearings, the Senate Fi-
nance Committee on March 7 approved workshop rec-
ommendations for a two-year budget of about $90 bil-
lion, paving the way to a final committee vote before
moving to the full Senate for consideration.
On March 8, the House Committee on Appropria-
tions absorbed information on Medicaid expansion
pursuant to the federal Affordable Care Act, including
a presentation showing the rise in Medicaid as percent
of state resources, including during dry periods of slow
or negative revenue growth, and briefs on similar is-
sues in the states of Arizona and Maine.
Appropriations Committee members also viewed
slides from the state comptroller’s office about the
Major Events Trust Fund as a way to stimulate the
economy through sports playoffs and other high-pro-
file events. Members also looked at “major economic
development programs” such as the Texas Enterprise
Fund, the Texas Emerging Technology Fund, the
Moving Image Industry Incentive Program and the
Major Events Trust Fund.
Justice speech is given
In his State of the Judiciary address to the Texas
Legislature on March 6, the Honorable Wallace Jef-
ferson, chief justice of the Texas Supreme Court, said,
“The question is not ‘How is the judiciary?’ We must
ask instead whether our system of justice is working for
the people it has promised to serve.” Nearly six million
Texans qualify for legal aid and many are “forced to go
it alone in our courts,” he said, adding that Texas ranks
48th in the nation in per capita funding for indigent de-
fense, and suggested the Legislature can do more to
increase access to legal services and attorney repre-
sentation for poor and middle class citizens. Jefferson
encouraged use of the rulemaking process to reduce
the expense and delay of litigation. At the Legislature’s
direction, he said, the Supreme Court recently adopted
rules to simplify proceedings in cases involving claims
for monetary relief of less than $100,000. “Discovery is
limited; the cases are expedited. Now, a case that is vi-
tal to the success of a small business owner can actually
be tried, to a verdict. A remedy for a legal injury, even
for a litigant who cannot afford to pay a lawyer $500
an hour.” Jefferson noted that Texas courts are mak-
ing progress in overturning wrongful convictions with
DNA or other means and exonerating innocent people.
He praised legislation offered by Sen. Rodney Ellis, D-
Houston, and Rep. Ruth Jones McClendon, D-San An-
tonio, to create an exoneration commission. Jefferson
also praised: ‘Increases in electronic filing of court pa-
pers; ‘Efforts to keep youths out of court and in school;
•Guardianship of elders who are at risk of abuse.
