David,
As a concerned citizen and City
Councilman of Big Lake, Texas, 1
feel it is my duty to inform the public
of my recent experience with our
City Secretary’s attitude and foul
language. I brought this matter up
with my fellow councilmen and
City Mayor and did not accomplish
anything in doing so. The indi-
vidual has been reprimanded twice
before with this being the third lime
and still gets a raise. So I am asking
you all as citizens of Big Lake if you
all have had problems with our City
Secretary, please let your voice be
heard at our next meeting August
15, to do so, please get on our
agenda by August 12 before Noon
which is this Friday.
Jesse A. Barrera

Dear comment:
I thought when the present Con-
stable ran for office that he would be
a help to our local law enforcement.
He has been nothing but a thorn in
the side to local law enforcement
and hopefully, he will resign. And
to any future Constable candidates,
please don't run for the job and ex-
pect the people to support you if you
act like the one we have now.
Thank you
Comment
I would just like to know if the
people are aware that a former
Constable has been circulating a
write-in petition so he can be on the
ballot as a write-in candidate for
Constable. Barry Riggs had me sign
his write-in candidate sheet and I
think he-or anybody- would be an
improvement over what we now
have. He will not be on the ballot,
but he will hopefully be a choice as
a write-in candidate. He said he
would be there if the Sheriff needed
him, but he would not get in the way
of our trained, experienced law en-
forcement officials that we now
have....and support!
Thank you

AUSTIN — Texas should be
one of five states to test a
program aimed at shutting illegal
aliens out of the job market,
Barbara Jordan, chairwoman of the
U.S. Commission on Immigration
Reform, told a Senate committee
last week.
The former Texas congress-
woman’s testimony was criticized
by civil rights groups, who said it
was a disguised attempt at forcing
Americans to carry a national iden-
tification card.
“Jordan is bowing to politics
and to public pressure,’’ said
Jeanne Butterfield of the American
Immigration Lawyers Association.
Jordan, who denied the allega-
tions, said there currently is no
easy way to check the immigration
status of new workers as required
by law. Under the current system,
29 different documents can be pre-
sented as proof of citizenship, or
legal residence.
Jordan wants Ibxas, California,
Florida, Illinois and New York to
give employers access to Social
Security databases. Job seekrs
would be asked for their Sotal
Security numbers, and employes
would check to see if the numbr
was valid.
AG Files Immigration Suit
State Attorney General Da
Morales sued the federal gover-
ment last week in an attempt to r-
coup $5 billion for services that o-
ficials say Texas provided to undor
umented immigrants over the pat
six years.
Morales denied charges of “im
migrant bashing,” saying the law
suit did not seek elimination of any
services to immigrants. He said the
suit simply asks for restitution foi
Texas.
Joining Texas in the lawsuit
filed in U.S. District Court in
Brownsville, were Dallas, Harris,
and Hidalgo counties; the El Paso
and La Joya school districts; and
the city of Odessa.
State Jail Chief Named
Thomas A. Baker, retired com-
mander of Bergstrom Air Force
Base in Austin, was named last
week as director of the new state
jail division. Baker started his new
job immediately.
The state jail program, which
by next year will include space
and rehabilitation programs for
about 25,000 nonviolent inmates,
is scheduled to begin Sept. 1.
Spring rains have delayed the
construction of the first jail in
Beaumont until at least October.
But state leaders worked out a
stopgap measure to house the first
inmates in existing community
facilities or in a partitioned area of
prison.
The delay has drawn the ire
of Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock, who
earlier criticized the Texas Board of
Criminal Justice for what he termed
a lack of planning.
TDCJ executive director James
“Andy” Collins said programming
has been planned and construction
is continuing on schedule.
By late 1995, 18 state jails arc
expected to be in operation.
Baker, who holds a master's
degree in business administration,
retired as an Air Force lieutenant
general in August 1993. He
has served as deputy director of
operations in the Pentagon.
Super Collider Settlement
Faced with the alternative of ex-
pensive, lengthy litigation, mem-
bers of the commission that over-
sees Texas’ investment in the supei
collider last week approved a settle-
ment with the U.S. Department of
Energy.
Texas contributed $539 million
of the more than $2 billion spent
on the atom smasher and wants to
recoup its losses.
The proposed settlement was
approved by the National Research
Laboratory and now goes to
Congress for approval. It would
give Texas title to the buildings and
land on the collider’s campus and
$145 million in cash.
Texas could receive another $65
nillion if its plan for a cancer
rcatment center is approved.
But GOP gubernatorial candi-
ote, George W. Bush, wasn't im-
pessed with the proposed settle-
atnt.
“The state of Texas is entitled
to:ompensation for its investment
in the super collider, but it’s
unbrtunate the state is being forced
to sttle for a consolation prize,"
Bus. said.
“The only agreement to brag
about would have been if Gov.
Richards and President Clinton
had been able to convince their
fellow Democrats to keep the super
collider and its Texas jobs and
scientific potential alive. ”
Inmates P.O.’ed About Pants
Most male state prisoners don’t
like to pull down their pants to
relieve themselves, but the new
flyless version of the standard-issue
white cotton pants being phased
in by the Texas Department of
Criminal Justice leaves them no
choice.
Inmate Alan Wade Johnson,
serving a life sentence for rape and
robbery at the Mark Stiles Unit in
Beaumont, sent a letter to Lt. Gov.
Bullock, a few legislators and the
media, according to a report in the *
Austin American-Statesman.
“You (may) crack a smile and
laugh about it, but give it time
to sink in and think about the
consequences of over 100,000 male
prisoners wearing female attire and
I believe you’ll understand (it’s)
not so funny," wrote Johnson, who
urged Bullock to “consider the
emotional impact of those of us
who will be forced to dress like a
woman.” s
Lany Kyle, assistant director of '
industry for the prison system, said
the new pants, though cheaper and
easier for inmates to manufacture,
have resulted in an outcry, because
the design is less “user-friendly."
The word butterfly comes trom
the Old English word buterfleoge,
meaning "butter" and "flying
creature." Buter probably
referred to the butter-yellow color
of some European butterflies.
