State and Local Lawy Lawsuit over A&M Micro Center awaiting action in Bryan court By Mike Sullivan Staff Writer KLS Computers’ lawsuit against Bill Wasson, Texas A&M University System vice chancellor, is hanging in limbo right now, KLS attorney Rose mary Williams said Thursday. The lawsuit, which seeks $4.05 million in dam ages and an injunction to close the A&M Micro Center, was sent to federal court and then bounced back to state district court in Bryan this summer. Williams, a Houston attorney representing KLS Computers, said that after the College Sta tion computer outlet went bankrupt last May, the case was removed to federal bankruptcy court in Houston. Williams said she and John Hawtrey, the attor ney representing KLS at the district court level, want the case tried in the bankruptcy court be cause they feel the federal court would decide the case more objectively than the district court in Bryan. “The folks up there (in Bryan-College Station) are dependent on A&M for their paychecks,” Williams said, “and nowadays with the economic climate being as dark as it is, it’s a rare person who can afford to offend his employer, whereas the federal judges here (Houston) don’t have any feelings one way or the other.” But the federal court recently sent the case back to the Bryan district court without a hear ing, she said. Williams said she doesn’t understand why the slate district ( Boreigri s tpportunity Trotn an imr st free of p.m. in 501 1 Dallas atn well, who n an hour for ices, will bet :alk on the i af aliens am :he United ional stndei kins in May. sitting here in the (lain said. 11 the case is returned to Houston, Wiia said, she will he ready to goto court immediattl 11 it sia\s in the Bryan disttict court,shea H.iwiiev will hav e to pic k up where heleftolhH Mav ■Hundred In Mav, Havti<\ wu- nvuu; to have th..graved v, i removed to federal court. fo a "> 'in\c< \\ ilh.ims s.i1.1 nIk i h m sii i kmiu when ihr -jcd 1 " ■ ■ I ■ ■ mi et al judge will at t on hei request for mnnv-.'Pwk, Satur tion. ered people K1 X I dcd sun |.in ucuuisi U.ismui iL jdasli I'M i hat he ov ei sit ppcd his authority SUtJUlAfhlrjP^'' 1 ' 11: ' 11 plovee when he and othei individuaib unde; l )l " | i'- 1 auilu n it v > t eated the MU ro Centei | f ()I hr I he suit said W asson promoted unfair atihnsaid. t it ion hv allow mg i he-« entei to use state monr W.

Jerry Cain, associate general counsel for the System, said the federal bankruptcy court doesn’t have jurisdiction over the KLS case and that’s why it was sent back.

Speaker Gib Lewis and Rep. Jim Rudd, chief House negotiator, pre dicted the agreement would be signed today. A Thursday-afternoon meeting of the 10-member conference commit tee was recessed to allow House members to attend a barbecue fund raising dinner for Lewis in Fort Worth. The committee meets again Fri day morning. Sen. Grant Jones, D-Temple, the chief Senate negotiator, said, “We have some variations in figures we want to reconcile.” Rudd, D-Brownfield, said, “I really think we need only several hours work before an agreement. I think we can do it tomorrow.” Lewis told the House, “There is a possibility they (the conference com mittee) can complete work tomor row.” After meeting Thursday morning with Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby, Lewis said agreement had been reached on overall spending cuts, but details on White reiterates optimism on temporary tax increase AUSTIN (AP) — Gov. Mark White said Thursday he is more optimistic than ever that the Leg islature will approve a temporary tax increase to help balance the state budget. “I’m more confident today than I was at any day prior to this time,” White told his weekly news conference. “They’re moving in that direc tion,” he said. “I think there’s been a recognition that it’s impos sible to cover the ($2.8 billion) deficit without some ncv\ revf- mies." fhe governor's comments came as legislative leaders also said agreement on a temporary tax hike appeared closer. Asked if he expected a tax bill to have trouble clearing the so-far reluctant House, Speaker Gib Le wis said, “I don’t think well have very much.” And Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby, in a speech to a bankers’ association, said he is hopeful the fiscal crisis can be resolved. Rudd said he believed thtt nations had reached tht; "where each side can livewhi agreement), although neithtt likes it and I think that's what :i about." Lewis has said there wouldi tax bill voted out of a Housecd tee until an agreement isracht the budget cuts.
