Supreme Court
upholds ban on
gays in service
WASHINGTON (AP) — The
U.S. military’s general ban on homo
sexuals survived two Supreme Court
appeals Monday.
The court rejected appeals by a
woman denied re-enlistment in the
Army Reserve in Wisconsin because
she is a lesbian and a California man
released from active duty in the
Navy because he is gay.
The court’s refusal, without com
ment, to review the Pentagon ban
leaves open the possibility the jus
tices could agree in some future case
to review a policy that says “homo
sexuality is incompatible with mili
tary service.”
But groups seeking expanded gay
rights said they have a better chance
of getting help from Congress.
“There are other remedies for us
to take care of this deeply irrational
policy,” said Peri Jude Radecic of the
National Gay and Lesbian Task
Force. “We’ve had a great deal of
congressional interest in this. Within
the next year, you’ll see some good
things coming from Congress.”
Nan Hunter of the American Civil
Liberties Union said, “The refusal to
allow lesbian and gay Americans to
enlist in the military constitutes what
is probably the most blatant example
of official discrimination by the fed
eral government today.”
The high court rejected appeals
by Miriam Ben-Shalom, 41, who has
been a sergeant in the Army Reserve
in Milwaukee, and James M. Wood
ward of Spring Valley, Calif., who
was ousted from active duty by the
Navy.
Ben-Shalom joined the Army Re
serve in 1974 but was discharged in
1976 because she is an acknowl
edged lesbian.

State studies school financing
Leaders warn against use of Band-Aid solutions
SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Leaders of the court battle
that could change the face of public school financing in-
Texas warned Monday against Band-Aid solutions to
the problem and promised to push their own plan in
the Texas Legislature.
“This is an opportunity for the state of Texas to fi
nally address this grievance, take care of the problem
and assure the future of our state,” Edgewood School
District Superintendent James Vasquez said.
His San Antonio-area district was lead plaintiff in the
lawsuit, Edgewood v. Kirby, which resulted in a unani
mous Texas Supreme Court ruling in October declar
ing the state’s current school finance method unconsti
tutional.
Ruling the system discriminates against property-
poor school districts, the court gave the state until May
1 to come up with a solution. School finance is slated for
the special legislative session opening today.
“We have won the case,” plaintiffs’ attorney A1 Kauf
fman said Monday in a news conference at the
Edgewood district office. “Now it’s our job as the parties
to the lawsuit and the lawyer in the lawsuit to make sure
that we do collect on our judgment.”
Kauffman, a lawyer with the Mexican-American Le
gal Defense and Education Fund, said the Texas Su
preme Court decision mandates a long-term plan.
“It was very explicit: The system must change,” he
said. “A Band-Aid will not suffice.”
Vasquez and Kauffman said they favor a bill filed by
state Rep. Gregory Luna, D-San Antonio, and state Sen.
Hector Uribe, D-Brownsville, calling for a countywide
tax rate of 80 cents per $100 property valuation and us
ing county tax bases to measure the amount of state
school aid.
The plan would allow a tax rate up to 20 cents higher
within districts, and suggests more state money for dis
tricts with high numbers of special-needs students.
State funding would increase to $800 million in
1990-91, $1.8 billion in 1991-92 and $3 billion in 1992-
93.
“We want to raise the standard for every district in
the state. We don’t want to bring anybody down,” said
Kauffman, citing figures placing Texas 35th among the
50 states in education funding.
The attorney warned legislators against using the
school funding issue for other interests, such as chang
ing the role of the state board of education or education
commissioner or creating a longer school year.
“The case was about equal access to money,” Kauf
fman said. “For those who want to use the decision for
other means, they’re simply wrong.”
Vasquez said he will work weekends at his superin
tendent’s post so that he can travel to Austin twice
weekly during the session to work on passage of an equ
ity plan and to educate lawmakers.
“A lot of times legislators don’t even know they rep
resent property-poor school districts,” Vasquez said.
Former Edgewood Superintendent Jose Cardenas
advised legislators not to follow the recommendations
“W e have won the case. Now it’s our
job as the parties to the lawsuit and the
lawyer in the lawsuit to make sure that we
do collect on our judgment.”
— Al Kauffman,
plaintiffs’ attorney
of a blue-ribbon panel on education finance appointed
by Gov. Bill Clements.
The panel didn’t propose substantial new money for
education, he said, adding that panel members Henry
Cisneros and state Rep. Ernestine Glossbrenner, D-Al
ice, chair of the House Public Education Committee,
would not agree to the recommendations, and state
Sen. Carl Parker, D-Port Arthur, was not present to
vote.
Luna agreed, predicting it would be difficult to find a
legislator willing to write a bill proposing the task force
recommendations.
The panel recommended increasing state school
funding by $234 million next year and up to $ 1.5 billion
in the fifth year of the plan. The panel also recom
mended spending $100 million in each of two years of
the plan for new facilities.
Rev. Jackson
will not run
for mayor
WASHINGTON (AP)—Jesse
L. Jackson said he will not run for
mayor of the nation’s capital in
this fall’s election.
“I want to continue to serve,
but not as mayor,” the civil rights
leader and two-time Democratic
presidential candidate said in a
statement prepared for a news
conference.
Jackson’s political plans have
been the subject of conjecture
since he moved to Washington in
April 1989. The speculation in
tensified with Mayor Marion Bar
ry’s arrest last month on a cocaine
possession charge.
In his statement, Jackson did
not address whether he would
again seek the White House in
1992.
He said he plans to continue
working to end the city’s drug
and crime crisis and to push for
statehood for the District of Co
lumbia.
“At present I believe that I may
best serve by continuing my work
on a national level to change the
direction of this country,” Jack-
son said.
“Because this is an election
year, the mayor’s issue has grown
with the crisis in the city and the
tribulations of the mayor,” Jack-
son said in his statement.
In recent weeks, Jackson has
stressed repeatedly that cham
pioning the city’s quest to become
the nation’s 51st state would re
main his priority during the elec
tion year.
Clean air bill moves to Senate for debate
WASHINGTON (AP) — Senate leaders
pressed ahead Monday with final private talks
with the White House over the clean air bill, but
said the measure will go to the Senate floor for
debate this week — with or without an
agreement.
The closed-door negotiations between sen
ators and key Bush administration officials on a
compromise air pollution control package have
been under way for nearly a month with major
differences still to be overcome, according to
both sides.
“We are making progress,” Senate Majority
Leader George Mitchell, D-Maine, said. But he
acknowledged that he may have to bring the bill
to the Senate floor without the administration
support he has sought through the bargaining.
Mitchell said if a compromise package cannot
be worked out early this week, he would termi
nate the discussions with the administration and
take his chance on a bill emerging through Sen
ate floor debate, beginning Thursday.
“We started the (private) talks three weeks ago,
and at some point we need to reach a conclu
sion,” Mitchell said shortly after meeting with
White House Chief of Staff John Sununu and
William Reilly, head of the Environmental Pro
tection Agency.
Sununu said after the meeting that the two
sides are “getting closer and closer” toward work
ing out a compromise bill aimed at cleaning up
the nation’s air by the end of the decade. But
Sununu, alluding to Mitchell’s threat to end the
discussions, criticized having to work under “the
deadline of a clock.”
Mitchell turned to the private discussions on
Feb. 2 in hopes of counteracting strong regional
opposition to parts of the clean air bill by enlist
ing the Bush administration.
