Highway officials travel winding roads
fee
Department funds fail
to meet outlined plans
AUSTIN (AP) — Texas will have
to cancel or delay $5 billion worth of
highway projects over the next 10
years unless it sets aside more motley
to improve roads, the state Highway
Commission chairman said Tuesday.
Chairman Robert Dedman of Dal
las supports a 10-cent increase in the
state’s 15-cent-a-gallon gasoline tax
to give the Highway Department a
cash infusion.
The tax increase would raise
about $750 million a year for high
ways, and another $250 million for
education, he said.
The department hasn’t begun de
ciding what highway projects would
be eliminated if funding isn’t suffi
cient, Dedman said.
“We’re agonizing over what to
do,” he said. “We have committed to
do $5 billion worth of projects for
the rest of this century that we don’t
have the funding now to do.”
Inflation has taken a bite out of
the department’s $2.6 billion annual
budget, which comes from state and
federal funds, he said. And lawmak
ers have used some money pre
viously set aside for highways to pay
for other state needs.
For example, Dedman noted that
the Legislature in its scramble to
find additional money for schools
this summer raised the state fee for
moving oversize and overweight
items on highways.
That new money will go to educa
tion, he said, “but we’re the ones that
have to go out and fix the potholes
and repair the bridges and don’t
have the funding to do it.”
Dedman’s proposal to increase the
gasoline tax has drawn opposition
from candidates for state office.
Lawmakers just increased the state
sales tax and other taxes for public
education.
But Dedman said he didn’t think
he made a mistake by proposing the
tax increase in an election year. And
he said he would testify for the in
crease before the Legislature, which
meets in regular session beginning
in January.
“The conventional wisdom is that
the press and the populace are so il
literate and gullible that politicians
can say I’m going to give you the
world with a fence around it before
an election, but I’m not going to
charge you any taxes to do it,” he
said.
“I really have a lot more faith in
the press and the populace than
that,” he said.
Of the necessary funding, Ded
man said, “I really think that the
people will realize that the projects
are needed and will do sometnii
about it.”

Highway upgrade offers
hope to S. Texas economy
AUSTIN (AP) — South Tex
ans told the state Highway Com
mission Tuesday to boost their
economy by upgrading a highway
to four lanes between Corpus
Christi and the Mexican border.
But Highway Commission
Chairman Robert Dedman had
little hope that the state would
commit state resources to the
$138.5 million project to widen
State Highway 44 and U.S. High
way 59 to four lanes between Cor
pus Christi and Laredo.
“You gentlemen have in your
hands the economic destiny of an
entire region,” Sen. Carlos
Truan, D-Corpus Christi, told the
three commissioners.
“There is no question that your
case is meritorious,” Dedman
said, but he said the department
already is short about $5 billion
for projects it has committed to
do over the next 10 years.
Truan called the South Texas
project a “must.”
“We are not just talking about
linking the border to the Coastal
Bend,” Truan said. “We are in
stead addressing the linkup be
tween the largest inland port in
the United States with the sixth-
largest seaport in the land.”
Upgrading the highways
would link the maquiladora in
dustry on the Texas-Mexico bor
der to the rest of the world via
Corpus Christi’s port, he said.
Tne maquiladora industry ij
composed of companies with
plants on each side of the border.
The route currently is four
lanes from Corpus Christi to San
Diego, and two lanes from San
Diego to Laredo. The two roads
meet at Freer.
The highway widenings would
provide “access to the global
economy for the products that
are assembled and manufactured
in the maquiladoras and by the
booming industries of Northern
Mexico,” Truan said.
Webb County Judge Andres
Ramos said 366,000 trucks and
trailers crossed through Laredo's
port last year, a 77 percent in
crease in three years. That num
ber is expected to climb to
700,000 in three years, he said.
Corpus Christi Mayor Betty
Turner cited increased tourist
traffic since her city’s recent
opening of the Texas State
Aquarium. And she said more vis
itors are expected after the
planned opening of a Nueces
County dog-racing track in No
vember.

Medical examiner livens up court room
ton as
Vn torn
CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) — Dr. Joseph Rupp
nee
slumped back in a chair in his cluttered ofl
and contemplated perceptions of his job.
“Nothing interests people like death,” Rupp
said. “They’re afraid of it, but they sure are inter
ested in it.”
Every day, corpses are wheeled into Rupp’s of
fice. As Nueces County medical examiner, he
pokes, prods and explores the bodies. He deter
mines a cause and mode of death. When a death
is suspicious, he assists law enforcement officers
in the investigation.
Rupp handles some 1,200 cases a year. After
20 years, the doctor said, he’s about ready to quit.
He has plans to retire before the end of this year.
Since he came to the Coastal Bend in 1970,
Rupp has earned a reputation as a lively and
knowledgeable witness in court, where he can be
found poking through holes in a skull to show
how a bullet entered or demonstrating on him
self how the hands of an attacker could
snap a
neck.
Douglas Tinker, a local defense attorney, said
Rupp’s testimony in court can be “devastating” to
murder defendants.
“My tactic is not to ask him anything,” Tinker
said, adding that some defense lawyers make the
mistake of allowing Rupp to tell the jury things
the defendant would rather they not hear.
“Most of what he does is give his opinion about
how someone died,” Tinker said. “But if you let
him, he’ll extend that and give an opinion about
how it happened.”
An illustration of Tinker’s observation came
during the defense lawyer’s most recent coun-
room encounter with Rupp.
In May, Tinker was defending Michael Bryan,
accused of killing a man whom Bryan had nieiin
a gay bar.
Tinker successfully objected to having Rupps
comments heard in front of the jury. Bunk
medical examiner testified that the Brvan cast
matched a pattern of killings where men whodo
not think they are gay but frequent gay bars wind
up killing men who make advances toward them
The basis of Tinker’s defense of Bryan washii
client’s supposed revulsion to a homosexual ad
vance, which Rupp suggested Bryan welcomed
even encouraged.
Bryan was found guilty of murder and sen
tenced to 40 years in prison.

But the agency doesn’t.
The Texas Panhandle lakeisnota
priority with the National ParkSen-jj
ice, associate director Denis Galvin]
told a House panel Tuesday, And
Sarpalius’ proposal to expand the
park “is not embodied in any of the
planning documents for Lake Mere
dith,” Calvin said.
He testified before the subconn
mittee on national parks and public I
lands of the House Committee on |
Interior and Insular Affairs.
Sarpalius, D-Amarillo, is seeking I
$1 million for the lake in the 19911
budget. His bill also orders the gov-1
ernment to create a 5-year devd-j
opment plan that includes a visitorsI
center and better facilities, and ex f
tends the park service’s supervision'
indefinitely.
The National Park Service has,
handled the lake under a 1963;
agreement with the Bureau of Land
Reclamation, which built the laketo
provide drinking water to Panhan
die communities. But the park sen
ice has been free to pull outofthtj
agreement anytime and has donti
little to develop the lake.
Local park service officials sa]j
they’ve been hampered in what the'
can do by a lack of money and sup
port from agency leaders, Sarpalius
and the community leaders said.
Community leaders who testified
before the subcommittee brushed
off Galvin’s opposition.
“We think it’s simply a reaction
that might be expected from a bu
reaucratic agency,” said John Wil
Hams, manager of the Canadian
River Municipal Water Authority-
which regulates the lake’s water level
and distribution.
The lake and nearby Alibates Na
tional Monument draw 1.5 million
visitors a year, but most of them am
local residents, said Jack King, presi
dent of the First National Bank in
Borger and a resident of the lake.
“This is part of our national heri
tage,” King said. “We need to make
more people privy to that.”
“Wnat is unique about this project
is its important historical value,"Sar
palius said.
For 11,000 years Pre-Columbian
Indians dug flint from the Alibate*
quarries to make projectile point 1
and tools. Near the lake are 4001oca
tions where scientists have found
