Committee
considers
bill’s funding
AUSTIN (AP) — As a House-
Senate conference committee
tries to produce a school finance
reform bill, lawmakers this week
will begin working their way
through a list of muuimillion-dol-
lar proposals to pay for the mea
sure.
The first revenue source to be
considered — cuts in other state
programs — likely will be taken
up Tuesday by the House, said
Rep. Jim Rudd, D-Brownfield,
chairman of the budget-writing
Appropriations Committee.
Later debates are expected to
be over creation of a state lottery,
state fee increases and higher
taxes, said Rep. James Hury, D-
Galveston, chairman of the tax
writing Ways and Means Com
mittee.
Legislative leaders say they are
prepared to challenge Gov. Bill
Clements’ vow to veto new taxes
for school finance reform, which
was ordered by the Texas Su
preme Court because of dispari
ties in funding available to prop
erty-rich and -poor school
districts.
The $13.5 billion-a-year school
finance system relies on a combi
nation of local property taxes,
state aid and some federal funds.
If non-tax revenue measures
won’t pay for reform, Hury said,
taxes will make up the difference:
“We’re going to do what’s right.”
But Clements says he won’t
blink in the face-off over new
taxes, and he’s prepared to keep
lawmakers at work on the prob
lem as long as it takes to get what
he wants — despite a May 1 Su
preme Court deadline for re-
‘Tm trying to do something
that is legislatively possible, and is
reasonable, and makes sense,”
Clements said.
The governor favors a reform
plan that would pump $234 mil
lion more into public education
next school year. He wants to pay
for it by cutting other parts of the
budget and increasing the state
fee for obtaining driving records.

Protestors back victims
Crowd speaks out against police killings
HOUSTON (AP) — More than 200 protes
tors marched through downtown Houston
over the weekend in a last show of support be
fore a Dallas court begins hearing evidence
Monday against a former police officer
charged with the slaying of Ida Lee Delaney.
“We’re here today to say that these young
black children do not have targets painted on
their backs,” said Ester King, a member of the
National Black United Front.
The march was organized by the Ida Lee
Delaney Byron Gillum Justice Committee.
Delaney, 50, and Gillum, 24, were killed
within two weeks of one another in traffic
shooting incidents by Houston police officers
last fall. Both victims were black.
Former officer Alex Gonzales, 25, will be
tried for Delaney’s Oct. 31 killing beginning
Monday in Dallas by state District Judge Ted
Poe of Houston. Poe moved the case to Dallas
on a change of venue because of extensive
publicity in Houston.
Delaney was en route to work on a Houston
freeway when Gonzales and two other off-duty
officers chased her for several miles in an un
marked car. After she pulled over, Delaney
and Gonzales exchanged gunfire.
All three officers were fired, but only Gon
zales was indicted for murder by a grand jury.
All are appealing their firings to independent
arbitrators.
Earlier this month, grand jurors declined to
indict former officer Scott Tschirhart, 27, for
the Nov. 15 slaying of Gillum, an off-duty se
curity guard. Tschirhart fired eight shots at
Gillum — four in the back — after he said Gil
lum reached for a gun during a routine traffic
stop. Gillum was dead at the scene.
Gillum was the third black civilian killed by
Tschirhart during the officer’s seven years on
the Houston force.
“We’re going to have a day of outrage,” Del-
oyd Parker, spokesman for the justice commit
tee, said Saturday. “And our outrage is di
rected at this system that we all are living
under and is contributing to our victimiza
tion.” 1 • „
