AUSTIN —Amid the debates and
headline warfare last week, Texas
opened its early voting program.
As reporters watched, Gov. Ann
Richards officially cast the first
ballot at an East Austin grocery
store to announce and underscore
how easy it is to vote in Texas.
“This is the first vote in Texas
cast for Bill Clinton, I’ll tell you
that,” Richards said.
This is also the front line for
electoral votes and Richards and her
Democrats appear poised to win it
in Texas.
Texas Democrats plan to score
1.75 million votes during the early
voting period; Texas Republicans
are just as serious. They are phone-
banking reminders to voters.
Mobile Voting Stations
Texas Secretary of State John
Hannah said mobile early voting
sites — in motor hemes and station
wagons —can be used.
That means a vehicle can roll into
a neighborhood and start collecting
ballots, all supervised, of course.
But as opponents of the program
point out, in these days of massive
welfare fraud and other “creden-
tials” crimes, how easy will it be
to commit voter fraud?
Special Session Nov. 10
It’s official. Gov. Richards has
chosen Nov. 10 as the date legis-
lators meet in special session on
school finance.
Press secretaiy Bill Cryer said
the date, a week from the Novem-
ber elections, would give lawmak-
ers time to prepare.
The Texas Supreme Court three
times has overturned school finance
laws, ruling that they discriminated
against property-poor districts.
Richards said she, Lt. Gov. Bob
Bullock and House Speaker Gib
Lewis are working on a new plan to
present to lawmakers next month.
The last legislative effort created
higher property taxes which the
Texas Supreme Court ruled uncon-
stitutional, but allowed to be col-
lected.
Back Into Court
The Texas Supreme Court began
hearing arguments on whether the
Texas Constitution mandates that
all citizens have equal access to
public colleges and universities.
In January, Brownsville judge
Benjamin Euresti reversed a jury
and ruled Texas has discrimi-
nated against Hispanics in the Rio
Grande Valley by not building
enough colleges there.
Attorney General Dan Morales
appealed Euresti’s decision; his
staff lawyers argued last week that
the Constitution makes no mandate
for higher education equal access.
Attorneys for Hispanics in the
Valley argued that the Constitu-
tion’s “efficiency” requirement for
lower public school systems also
applies to higher education.
Euresti, in pushing aside the
juiy’s finding of no discrimination,
gave the Legislature until May 1,
1993 to draft a remedy or face
a court-ordered halt of all higher
education funding.
Mauzy, Enoch Duel
Allegation? of misuse of public
funds surfaced last week for oppos-
ing candidates in a race for Texas
Supreme Court.
First, a former secretary for
5th Court of Appeals judge Craig
Enoch alleged she did campaign
work on state time. Enoch, a
Republican challenger, denied it,
then later wrote the state a check
for about $570 to cover it.
That prompted Democrat incum-
bent Justice Oscar Mauzy, a former
state senator, to comment the al-
legations “raised serious questions
about Judge Enoch’s suitability to
serve on the state’s highest court.”
The ink was barely dry on
Mauzy’s quote when one of his
former secretaries popped up with
similar charges, that Mauzy re-
quired her to do his personal cleri-
cal work on state time.
Enoch l as been asked by the
Public Integrity Unit to supply
documents; it is assumed Mauzy
will be asked to do the same.
Latest Texas Ml
According to a Texas Poll survey
for Oct. 1-8, Republican Barry
Williamson has overtaken scandal-
plagued Democrat Lena Guerrero
in their railroad commission battle.
Williamson leads Guerrero by
five points, 37 percent to 32
percent, with some 31 percent
undecided.
Guerrero resigned from the com-
mission last month, apologizing for
making false claims on her resumes
and biographies. Her negative rat-
ing in the poll was 50 percent.
The poll also reported that Gov.
Richards has a 59 percent approval
rating, down from 72 percent in
August.
Stop Sludge Dumping
Attorney General Dan Morales
urged the Texas Water Commission
to immediately halt a company
from spreading sludge in West
Texas.
Morales told the commission last
week to revoke permission granted
to MERCO Joint Venture to spread
New York City sludge on a ranch
near Sierra Blanca, about 70 miles
southeast of El Paw.
Morales said the MERCO project
docs not meet state regulations.
Other Highlights
■ Gov. Richards took Morales’
advice and appointed a prosecutor
to head the state prison board: for-
mer district attorney Carol Vance
of Houston. Vance, who already
sits on the board, replaces Shel-
don Hale, who resigned last month;
Morales said then that a prosecu-
tor would negotiate a prison law-
suit settlement tougher on prison
inmates.

LETT FILS
As in the past, we are doing our
. best to see that every qualified voter
in Erath County has an opportunity
to vote for the candidate of their
choice. Early voting has already
begun.
Any duly qualified voter in Erath
County has several options as to the
place and time where they will be
able to vote this year. Through Oct
30, you will be able to come by the
County Clerk’s office from 8 ami.
through 3 p.m. Monday through
Friday to vote. If you are over 65
or are going to be out of the county
during this time and election day,
you may send a written request to
the clerk’s office and have a ballot
mailed to you. This has to be done
by mail. This is also true if you are
confined to your home or the
hospital due to illness.
But, we have an alternative for
those of you who will be working
out of town during the week or
work late or unusual hours, we will
have voting sites open on the
weekend and in Dublin. The sche-
dule for these places and times are
listed below:
Stephenvillc: The empty “Simply
Six” building at the Bosque River
Shopping Center. Sat, Oct. 24 from
9 a.m. to 8 p.m. and Sunday, Oct.
25 from I p.m. to 5 p.m.
Dublin: Dublin Mini-Mall (Justice
of the Peace office) Tuesday, Oct.
27 from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m.
These locations are not limited to
just the residents in that area.
Ballots for all voting precincts will
be available at each location.
Don’t let excuses (working late,
just home on the weekend, can't get
off work during the week or it’s
just too inconvenient to get to the
polling place or I can't find a place
to park around the courthouse) keep
you from getting the opportunity to
have your say in what happens in
this still FREE AND BEAUTIFUL
COUNTRY OF OURS.
YOUR VOTE DOES COUNT!
We want to try and give you every
chance possible to exercise the
wonderful privilege wc have!
Thank you so much!
