Supreme Court allows Texas
to argue claim for lost money
AUSTIN (AP) — The U.S. Supreme Court on Tues
day gave Texas the OK to argue its case over unclaimed
money taken by New York, a battle Texas officials said
could mean tens of millions of dollars for the state.
“We will have the possibility to litigate over hundreds
of millions of dollars,” said Attorney General Jim Mat
tox. “We don’t know how much exactly, but there’s
more than one pot of money we’re seeking access to. It
could be a very large amount.”
The Supreme Court allowed Texas to intervene in a
multimillion-dollar battle between Delaware and New
York over unclaimed dividend and interest payments
on securities such as stocks and bonds.
At issue are payments that have no known owner.
That money is being held by brokerage firms in New
York, and the state of New York gets the unclaimed
funds after three years.
Delaware argues that New York shouldn’t be allowed
to collect the funds because most brokerage houses are
incorporated in Delaware.
Texas argues that unclaimed interest and dividend
payments originating from companies or government
bodies located in Texas should be paid to Texas.
“This money, which rightfully belongs to Texas, has
been held by the state of New York,” Treasurer Ann
Richards said.
“It is our position that the only known factor in lit
whole transaction or series of transactions is wheretk
money originated,” she said.
The Supreme Court on Tuesday granted Mattox's
request to intervene. Justices last May agreed to settle
the dispute without it first having been heard in some
lower court because the case is one between states, Mat
tox said.
Every year, brokerage firms recover up to $2 r
each in dividend and interest payments for peoplewk
cannot be located.
All states have so-called “escheat” laws which providt
that such abandoned money goes into the state treasttr
after remaining unclaimed for a specified period of
time.
“We are saying that — where we cannot determiot
the exact address of the real beneficiary of that mono
— it ought to go to the home state of the corporatk
that originally issued either the stock or the bonds
Mattox said.
The lawsuit involves money collected by New Yotl
over the last 10 years. Richards said that the Supremt
Court’s decision also will give T-t^as officials accesst
New York’s unclaimed property-files, something Net
York officials have refused to allow in the past.
Mattox said he is optimistic about the Texas case.
Arbitrator rules for reinstatement
of policeman accused of misconduct
HOUSTON (AP) — In an admit
tedly ambivalent ruling, an arbitra
tor ordered the reinstatement, with
out back pay, of a Houston police
officer fired for allegedly fondling a
woman he pulled over in northeast
Houston.
The ruling angered Police Chief
Lee P. Brown, who has had a num
ber of his firings overturned by arbi
trators recently. He called for abo
lishment of the arbitration system
for city employees.
Officer Ernest R. Cooper was
fired last April after a woman
charged he followed her July 26,
1987, from the central police station,
where her husband was in custody,
and fondled her while promising to
help get her husband released from
jail.
In granting Cooper’s reinstate
ment, arbitrator Walter D. McCoy
wrote, “It is important to point out
that while the indefinite suspension
will be rescinded, the arbitrator is
not fully convinced that the total be
havior of (Cooper) was within the
scope of good conduct and I do not
feel that such behavior should be
viewed with impunity.”
However, McCoy wrote, Cooper’s
firing “was not based on just ancl suf
ficient cause,” and that his grievance
“is upheld in part and denied in
part.”
The disciplinary action was or
dered stricken from Cooper’s per
sonnel records.
Cooper allegedly stopped the
woman for driving with her head
lights on high-beam. She com
plained that the officer tookherio
his patrol car and questioned
searched her, fondling her.
Police computer records con
firmed that Cooper stopped
woman and placed her in his car
However, he denied putting h
hands on her in any way,
The woman later presented inves
tigators a telephone number she said
the officer gave her with instruction
to call him the next day. The num
ber was traced to Cooper’s home
according to arbitration documents.
McCoy said the woman’s com
plaint might have been motivated!))
anger at police for jailing her hus
band.
Brown called the arbitration sys
tem “an erosion of our ability to
maintain discipline.”
