State workers may get $1.5 billion in raises AUSTIN (AP) — A state senator hasproposed a $1.5 billion state em ployee pay raise, including an emer gency 12 percent, across-the-board increase and further raises for 1990- 91. “Our state employees have bitten the bullet for too long, shouldering the burden of the state’s budget,” Sen. Gonzalo Barrientos, D-Austin, said Tuesday. “Their salaries have not kept pace with inflation nor with increases in insurance premiums,” he told a news conference. “Inflation and insur ance have combined not only to re duce the purchasing power of our state employees’ salaries, but have conspired to result in an actual pay cut.” With Barrientos were representa tives of the Texas State Troopers As sociation, Texas Public Employees Association, Texas Game Wardens Association and Texas State Em ployees Union. State Reps. Parker McCollough, D-Georgetown; Bob Richardson, R-Austin; and Lena Guerrero, D-Austin; also appeared. The proposed raise would apply to all state employees in Texas, num bering more than 200,000, Barrien tos said. Barrientos said he filed legislation authorizing the 12 percent emer gency raise — with a $125 floor — and it would take effect March 1 if approved. He also pledged to work for additional 3.4 percent employee pay raises for state employees in each of the next two fiscal years. The cost of the package would be $300 million this fiscal year, $600 million in 1990 and $600 million in 1991, he said. Barrientos said he would keep his mind open to a tax increase, but he would look to fund the proposed raise in other ways. He said he would support a state lottery and noted that the comptroller also has de ducted money from available reve nue as a contingency for court cases. “Keeping experienced, dedicated workers on the job for the people of Texas saves taxpayer dollars,” Bar rientos said. “It is an investment, not an expense. We cannot afford the expense of searching for, hiring and training new employees, and then losing them.” Inflation has been 20.8 percent since 1983, while pay raises for state employees have amounted to 12 per cent, Barrientos said. He also said studies show private-sector employ ees are paid 17 percent to 39 percent more than state employees doing comparable jobs. Suspect in shooting surrenders to police McKinney (ap) — a suspect surrendered to authorities Tuesday afternoon in the fatal shooting of a woman who had come to a day care center to pick up her children. Ricky Lynn Newman, 30, was ac companied by his attorney as he gave himself up to Collin County sheriffs officers without incident. Officers described him as the es tranged husband of Laurie Lee Newman, who died Monday from a single gunshot wound. “There was no problem,” Sheriffs Lt. John Holton said of Newman’s surrender. “He walked in and said, ‘I’m Richard Newman. I understand you are looking for me.’ We heard he would be here at 4 p.m. and he showed up at 4:15 p.m.” Authorities said Newman would probably be arraigned by Wednes day morning. “He was very subdued. He has been very calm. He has not been say ing very much. He has just kept his head down,” sheriffs Lt. Bobby Clark said of the suspect. Plano Municipal Court Judge Toni Baggett issued a murder war rant for Newman’s arrest after Lau rie Newman died. Pursued by the gunman, she had driven about five blocks from the shooting scene at La Petite Academy to a bowling alley. She was then taken to a hospital where she died of her wound. Holton said Newman was being booked into Collin County Jail in lieu of $ 100,000 bond. Before she died, Laurie Newman provided information about her as sailant, Plano police said. Jon Giddings, a police investigator and public information officer in the North Dallas suburb, said Laurie Newman, 25, of Richardson, was wounded Monday afternoon as she tried to pick up her two children. The gunman drove up in front of her, left his vehicle and fired a large- caliber handgun five times. Laurie Newman drove to Plano Super Bowl, pursued by her at tacker. After he fled, she was treated by Plano Lire Department personnel and then transferred to ACA Medi cal Center Plano where she died at 5:50 p.m. of a gunshot to her right side, said Giddings. Officers were first called to the bowling alley to which she had driven about one-half mile from her attacker, Luis Benavides, the howl ing alley manager, said. “When she drove up, there were several customers and employees at the entrance who assisted her,” Be navides said. “She evidently was shot at the day care center. She drove up, she got out on her own and said, ‘Please help me. I’ve been shot.’ “I was working inside but went out when I heard all the commo tion.” The gunman at the bowling lanes “evidently saw the crowd of people there and he took off,” Benavides said. He said an off-duty firefighter who was bowling at the center ren dered aid to the woman as paramed ics were called. The slaying occurred six weeks af ter a similar shooting at a day-care center in Dallas resulted in the deaths of a Dallas woman and a Dal las County deputy sheriff who had driven her to the Day Place Devel opment Child Center to drop off two of her children. Loeffler gets appointment as UT regent AUSTIN (AP) — Former Repub lican congressman Tom Loeffler, former state GOP chairman Chester Upham Jr. of Mineral Wells and Robert Cruikshank of Houston were named Tuesday to the University of Texas System Board of Regents. Gov. Bill Clements named the three to replace Robert Baldwin III of Austin, Jess Hay of Dallas and Mario Yzaguirre of Brownsville. The three new appointees, subject to Senate confirmation, will serve terms ending Feb. 1, 1995. “The management and leadership skills of these outstanding appoin tees will move higher education in Texas into a new era of excellence and accountability,” Clements said. Outgoing regent Baldwin was a close associate of former Democratic Gov. Mark White, who ousted Clem ents in 1982 and then lost to the Re publican in 1986. Dallas financier Hay, chairman of Lomas & Nettleton, has been a ma jor Democratic Party fund-raiser. Loeffler, 42, of Mason, is a senior partner in the law firm of McCam- ish, Martin, Brown & Loeffler. He served in the U.S. House from Jan uary 1979 through January 1987, and he was an unsuccessful GOP candidate for governor in 1986. Marines Wne looking far a fa? good men and women. Capt.
