William B. “Bryan” Fuller, 38, also said the lion should not have been on a long leash in a crowded flea market where the girl was at tacked over the weekend. “If I had been there, the girl never would have been hurt and Caesar (the lion) would never had been in the mall,” Fuller said. The lion, part of an exotic animal show, mauled Roxanne Hernandez Saturday. The attack occurred when the new owner was unable to re strain the lion after it apparently be came excited after knocking over an ornament. Spokesman Beth Sartori said Her nandez underwent surgery Saturday and Monday and remained in se rious but stable condition Tuesday at Hermann Hospital. No more sur gery has been scheduled, but doctors say she will face further operations. The lion was put to sleep after be ing taken from the flea market. Ful ler said he recognized his former pet on a television broadcast Saturday night. “I cried and I cried when I heard about it,” Fuller told the Houston Chronicle Monday. “It hurts me be cause of the little girl’s condition and what happened to Caesar.” Fuller, a 38-year-old disabled la borer, said he gave the lion to Gary Durkovitz last Christmas, several months after it injured his 3-year- old sons, Lonnie and Christopher Allen. Durkovitz renamed the lion Sampson and had promised to pay him for the animal but never did, Fuller said.

Instead of choosing a permanent chairman, the panel voted 3-0 Mon day to rotate the post on a monthly basis throughout next year. The decision broke a tradition of choosing the next commissioner to face re-election as chairman for two years. The inability to select a chair man was due, in part, to dis agreements between Commissioners Jim Nugent and John Sharp over commission policies. Nugent and Sharp are Democrats. That left the deciding vote to new Commissioner Kent Hance, a Re publican, who made the motion for a rotating chairmanship. “It certainly does not bruise any one’s feelings, and it gives us time to concentrate on the problems facing the energy industry in Texas,” Hance said. Nugent will continue as chairman through October. Sharp will take over in November. Hance will be chairman in December. AUSTIN (AP) — A proposed $80.6 million agreement to upgrade state mental retardation services is costly but fair, state budget overseers said Tuesday. The settlement of a 13-year-old class-action lawsuit against the state over the care of the mentally re tarded in state schools has been agreed to by attorneys on both sides and is expected to be signed in Dal las federal court Thursday. “I think the attorney general did a good job" in settlement negotiations, Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby, chairman of the Legislative Budget Board, said. “I think it’s probably the best result that could have been achieved.” House Speaker Gib Lewis, board vice chairman, said the settlement is “as fair as you’re going to get,” but he expressed concern about the cost to the state. The court-ordered shifting of the mentally retarded from state to com munity facilities when possible leaves state schools “with less population but still with the same amount of overhead, and it’s putting a very heavy financial burden on the state at a time that we don’t have the money to spare for those extras,” Le wis said. The Department of Mental Health and Mental Retardation esti mates that it would cost an extra $17.7 million in Fiscal year 1989, $31.7 million in fiscal year 1990 and $31.2 million in fiscal 1991 to com ply with the settlement agreement, Tom Suehs, deputy commissioner for management and support, said. The agreement ultimately will in crease the staff-to-client ratio by 15 percent over the next three years in state schools, including doctra nurses and physical therapists, if partment officials said. The negotiated agreement of tk Lelsz vs. Kavanagh lawsuit is thtw ond accord in less than two mock Mental Health Mental Retards;:'. Board Chairman Roger Batta said. An agreement was sientd September in the RAJ vs. Mulerli* suit over care of the mentallyil Total estimated cost of boM tlements to the state is $26.2mia for 1988-89 and S78.4 ml® 1990-91, Suehs said. Officials said money could shifted within the departmentlui get initially, avoiding the n«di lawmakers to meet before the II regular session.

AUSTIN (AP) — An Alabama lawyer said Tuesday that — based on his observation of the new horse race track in Birmingham — pari mutuel betting is not all it has been cracked up to be. Dale Wallace, whose trip to Austin was paid for by the anti-betting orga nization Texans Who Care, referred to the Birmingham Turf Club as a “major debacle.” Wallace appeared at a news con ference with Sue Cox, campaign manager of Texans Who Care, and Gary McNeil of the Texas Baptist Christian Life Commission. Cox said, “The horse racing in dustry has a long history of over promising revenues, attendance and jobs.” Wallace, who unsuccessfully chal lenged the Alabama pari-mutuel betting law in court, said the Bir mingham track was projected to cost $56 million but actually cost $84 mil lion, with an additional $12 million in public iunds going foi* roads. He said there are $42 outstanding loans, and racing day range from $50,000. Projected profits for the ing season, which started in 1 ' were $5.7 million, Wallacesil the track will actually lose i $ 10 million,” he added. Finances are “almostatth the racing commission doeif : have sufficient funds to opere he said. Larry Eliason, executive.^ of the Alabama racingcoit^ was not immediately avail) 9 comment. McNeil, who spoke forlltf 1 tian Life Commission, tlf* promoters of pari-mutuel f as a “no-shame gang." “They have no shame comes to raiding the to prop up their dyinj dustries,” he said. Churches and ministers have raised cash for Texans Who Care, the opposing group, and are leading the charge against pari-mutuel bet ting. Fox and other supporters say pari-mutuel betting on horse and dog racing could pump $2 billion into the state’s shaken economy. Ricky Knox, executive director of the Texas Horse Racing Association said,“The people of Texas want jobs. They know the economy needs to di versify away from oil and gas.” Opponents, however, think a “yes” vote will lead to widespread problems, including organized crime and animal abuse. Knox suspects that the Texas Horse Racing Association has done little publicity work in Atj cause of the town’s religio^l tion, which makes it a tr" r ®' sell legalized gambling.
