Former employees accuse Finnell
of improperly spending state fund :
AUSTIN (AP) — Former employees of state
Rep. Charles Finnell said he has collected state
reimbursement for automobile trips he never
took and had staff members work on his abortive
1988 Senate campaign while they were on the
state payroll, according to a copyright report
Tuesday.
In addition, the employees said Finnell used
state long-distance telephone lines at his Capitol
office to conduct personal business, the Austin-
American Statesman reported.
Finnell, a Democrat from Holliday, which Is
near Wichita Falls, denied engaging in such activ
ities, which are prohibited by state law.
The activities described as questionable by his
former employees involved thousands of dollars
in payroll expenses.
It wasn’t possible to quantify how much the
phone calls might have totaled because detailed
phone records were not available for Finnell’s of
fice.
Responding to the allegations regarding travel
reimbursement and the use of staff for campaign
work, Finnell said: “I deny that I have ever trav
eled one mile and billed it to the state when I
haven’t paid for that mile myself. There has been
no political activity in this office.”
Last month, the American-Statesman reported
Finnell, as chairman of the House General Inves
tigations Committee, spent the panel’s entire
$40,000 budget, although the committee met
only once during 1987-88.
Finnell denied any wrongdoing, saying he per
sonally investigated hundreds of tips, then de
stroyed the records.
House Speaker Gib Lewis, who appointed Fin-
“I
Charles
thought It was wrong.
‘ this
told
was not right.”
— Lisa Fasano,
Former Finnell employee
nell as chairman, defended him, saying he is a
“dedicated and committed public servant who
has made great sacrifices to serve the people of
this state.”
But Finnell’s former staffers claim the alleged
abuses continued after Lewis appointed Finnell
last January to lead another panel, the House
Rules and Resolutions Committee.
From January through July, Lisa Fat
served as the clerk to that committee, which It
dies ceremonial resolutions. In recent interv
from New York City where she now works ft:
auction house, Fasano said Finnell flew free.,
friends or family on at least two occasions
summer but instructed her to fill out fa]
claiming he drove the distance.
She said he flew between Austin and Hoi;;
on one occasion and to Fredrickiburg otj
other,
“I thought it was wrong," Fasano iald,"li
Charles this was not right but he said: Tmid
the state money by not flying commercislly
Charles Waters, Finnell’s administrativen
tant, said Finnell told Fasano to falsify the in*
records.
State records show that through Septer;?
Finnell has collected $1,967 in reimbunetr
for automobile mileage and $543 forcomme:;
air fare.
Fasano said Finnell also conducted pend
business on state phone lines when hewasirj
to find Texas ranch land for investors, induq
calls to a real estate agent in California.
Finnell said he paid for any calls to theCi.-
nia agent, who has relatives in his district.
Gay rights group calls
for removal of judge
AUSTIN (AP) — The president
of a gay rights group applauded an
objection filed against a special mas
ter’s report on a judge who said he
gave a lighter sentence to a convicted
murderer because his victims were
“queers.”
In a report last month to the State
Commission on Judicial Conduct,
Special Master Robert Murray didn’t
find bias or misconduct on state Dis
trict Judge Jack Hampton’s part. He
found only that Hampton had vio
lated the Code of Judicial Conduct
by talking about a case that was pen
ding appeal.
The Texas Civil Liberties Union,
Texas Human Rights Foundation
and Austin chapter of the National
Lawyers’ Guild on Tuesday urged
the commission to reject Murray’s
report and find that Hampton vio
lated rules of conduct forjudges.
“It’s important that every bit of
pressure on Judge Hampton be ap
plied,” William Waybourn, presi
dent of the Dallas Gay Alliance said.
“As long as Judge Hampton is on the
bench, homosexuals can expect not
to get fair treatment.”
Hampton told a Dallas Times
Herald reporter last December he
gave a light sentence to a convicted
murderer, 18-year-old Richard
Bednarski, in part because his two
victims were “queers.”
“I don’t much care for queers
cruising the streets for teen-age
boys,” Hampton told the reporter.
Hampton later apologized for a
“poor choice of words” and insisted
he thought the interview was off the
record.
“The special master concluded in
his fact-finding that Hampton did
indeed say bigoted statements about
homosexuals,” said Virginia
Thompson, an attorney for the
TCLU who helped file the objection.
