AUSTIN (AP) — Members of the Texas Legis
lature have been using political funds to pay their
spouses, children and other relatives for such
services as office work, consulting and catering.
One senator even paid rent to his wife for a
home in Austin, a newspaper reports.
Although state law prohibits legislators from
profiting personally from their political dona
tions, it doesn’t cover relatives.
The Austin American-Statesman said critics
complain that the result is a double standard,
with lawmakers prohibiting nepotism in state
government agencies while following a different
set of rules in spending contributions from their
political backers.
“If you have some old boy or old girl down
here who pays some relative just to pass through
money to themselves, then that’s one thing—and
that ought to be stopped,” said Sen. John Whit
mire, D-Houston, who spent $9,000 in political
funds last year to lease an Austin duplex from his
wife.
“But if someone is paying relatives for legiti
mate services, in a campaign or for rent or what
ever, so what? We’ve got to pay somebody. Why
not someone we’re related to?” Whitmire asked.
That opinion is shared by several lawmakers,
according to the newspaper’s review of state re
cords. Among its findings:
• In the past year, using his political account,
Rep. Paul Colbert, D-Houston, paid his wife
$15,200 for consulting work and reimbursement
of expenses.
Sharon Colbert is a political consultant by pro
fession and works for him at a much lower rate
than other clients, Rep. Colbert said. “If I

“What’s the problem with that?” asked Lm
who said he himself sometimes works in thepii
shop.
• Campaign spending for Rep. Eddie Lue
D-Brownsville, was a family affair. Since t
June, Lucio paid his brother, Joe, a musick
more than $2,700 to entertain at political fun
tions.

• When Rep. A1 Luna, D-Houston, needed

“I had to hire somebody — why not family:!
just covering their expenses. They
have to do it for free,” Lucio said.
• In his 1988 campaign. Sen. GonzaloB,

DALLAS (AP) — A grand jury
Monday began deciding whether an
Irving man should face charges in
the shooting death of another man
who had gunned down a woman in a
shopping mall parking lot.
Todd Allan Broom, 25, told po
lice he did not mean to kill Eddie Ed
wards, 41, earlier this month, but
fired at Edwards to stop him.
Edwards killed his ex-girlfriend,
Demetria Yvonne Taylor, 28, in the
Irving Mall parking lot March 12.
Police declined to charge Broom
after interviewing him, but referred
the case to a grand jury. The grand
jury will not make its decision public
until at least Wednesday, grand jury
secretary Dolly Jordan said.
A prosecutor’s office spokeswo
man said it is standard for grand ju
ries to withhold making their deci
sions public until the next time they
meet. This grand jury meets Mon
days and Wednesdays.
The shootings occurred March
12, but Broom fled the scene and
turned himself in to police two days
later. He told reporters he left be
cause he was afraid he would be
treated as a criminal.
“I don’t consider myself any sort
of vigilante,” Broom said at a press
conference three days after the
help someone else.

I don’t consider myself
any sort of vigilante. I don’t
consider myself any sort of
hero. Maybe just slightly a
good Samaritan that wanted
to help someone else.”

The copy machine repairman,
who also is co-owner of a pizza par
lor, said he was sorry he killed Ed
wards.
He said he watched in shock as
Edwards chased Taylor through the
parking lot. Edwards shot Taylor
once, then shot her again in the back
of the head as she lay mortally
wounded.
Police said Taylor, an American
Airlines flight attendant, had once
lived with Edwards.

Broom said he fired his .44-cali
ber magnum revolver once at the
back of Edwards’ car and then a sec
ond time, “through the driver’s
door.” He said he watched Edwards
drive off, hit a utility pole, come to a
stop and crumple over the wheel.
Police Capt. Travis Hall said offi
cers decided not to charge Broom
because “there is such a thing as a
justifiable homicide.”
