Absentee voting
on gay rights issue
heavy in Houston
Associated Press
HOUSTON — Absentee voters
cast ballots in near-record numbers
on Tuesday in a referendum on two
gay rights city ordinances, according
to city election officials.
City Secretary Anna Russell said
she expected the total number of
ballots to surpass 3,000 by the time
absentee voting ends on Tuesday.
She said she remembers only one
other city election in 34 years in
which more absentee votes were cast.
General voting on the gay rights
ordinances is set for Saturday.
At issue are regulations that
would forbid discrimination in city
hiring based on sexual orientation.
The ordinances were passed last
June by the city council, but a peti
tion campaign gathered more than
60,000 signatures and forced a ref
erendum.
groups have
1100,000 and
gained the support of prominent
groups, including the Houston
Chamber of Commerce executive
committee, an organization of Hous
ton ministers, the Harris County Re
publican Party executive committee
and the Houston Police Patrolmen’s
Union.
Leading supporter of the ordi
nances is Houston Mayor Kathy
Whitmire.
Anti-gay rights
raised more than
In a “state of the city” speech be
fore the Chamber of Commerce on
Monday, Whitmire said if the ordi
nances are defeated it will tarnish
the reputation of Houston.
“We cannot risk our reputation as
a city of opportunity,” she told the
chamber members. “We can’t afford
to become known as a city that con
dones prejudice and discrimina
tion.”
Whitmire said at a news confer
ence following the speech that she
believes the ordinances will win
voter approval “because I believe
most of the people feel there should
not be discrimination.”
Her remarks at the Chamber of
Commerce luncheon Monday raised
the ire of some chamber officials.
Leo Linbeck, a member of the
Chamber’s executive committee
which voted to oppose the gay rights
measures, said he would have voted
to cancel the mayor’s speech had he
known she was going to speak on the
issue.
“We didn’t tell her what to say,
said Linbeck, “but if she were goini
going
to debate I would have been in favor
of canceling the meeting.”
Linbeck was a co-guarantor of a
$1 ()(),()()() loan given to one of seve
ral anti-gay rights groups.
Damages extensive in storm aftermath
San Antonio survives setback
Associated Press
SAN ANTONIO — Local insur
ance adjusters say damage may run
in the millions from this weekend’s
freak winter storm that dumped 13
inches of snow on the Alamo City.
The city got back on its feet early
Tuesday af ter nearly shutting down
Monday in the wake of tfie crippling
storm.
Officials said most of the damage
was suffered by homes, carports and
vehicles.
“It’s definitely going to be in the
millions (of dollars),” said M.M. Bar
ron, owner of Barron and Company
Adjusters, Inc.
“There are apartment complexes
where carports collapsed that have
more than $100,()()() damages
apiece,” he said.
“I’d say there are going to be at
least 5,000 to 10,000 claims on car
ports alone.”
The carports collapsed under the
weight of tne snow.
Meanwhile, officials blamed the
snowstorm for the death of a 64-
year-old San Antonio man.
Paul Richard Richter Jr. appar
ently died of a heart attack Sunday
after clearing the driveway of his
home.
“He had cleaned snow off the
driveway with a leaf blower so he
could drive to the store to get some
groceries and a paper,” said Rich
ter’s brother-in-law, Harold Nemky.
His body was found in his car. He
apparently suffered the attack while
driving to the store.
Businesses, schools, universities,
military bases and government agen
cies resumed operations Tuesday-
