fhat Texas’ $20.53 per capita ranks
49th among states and the District of
Columbia.
I “The next biennium request, if
fully funded, would take us to
$41.02 per capita statewide — about
|he national average,” Denny Jones,
:ommissioner of the Texas Depart
ment of Mental Health and Mental
iiRetardation said Wednesday.
; The department is asking for a to
tal budget of $2.9 billion for the next
biennium. Of that, $1.1 billion
would be for mental health services.
The survey released this week was
based on 1987 data. Since then,
[ones said, Texas has increased per
capita mental health spending by 37
percent — up to a current level of
128.12.
That, however, is not enough,
ones and other mental health advo-
ates said at a press conference
called to respond to the new rank-
ngs.
Man claims innocence,
jokes about Treaty Oak
AUSTIN (AP) — The man con
victed of poisoning Texas’ historic
Treaty Oak with the herbicide Vel-
par says he is innocent and jokes that
tie may open a nightclub called “The
Velpar Spot” when he gets out of
prison.
Paul Stedman Cullen, 46, is serv
ing a nine-year prison term for
pouring Velpar on the centuries-old
Treaty Oak, where legend holds that
Texas colonist Stephen F. Austin
signed treaties with the Indians.
The tree’s plight and the efforts to
save it were the subjects of world
wide media attention.
Cullen told the Austin American-
Statesman in a story published
Thursday that he is innocent.
“I didn’t poison it,” he said.
“We’re appealing (the case). I think
with the pressure brought to bear by
the media, they were trying very
hard to fit somebody into the role of
suspect and defendant.”
Since the poisoning in the spring
of 1989, the city of Austin has re
ceived thousands of letters from
people who followed the tree’s strug
gle. to survive massive doses of the
liquid herbicide.
Visitors still place gifts, poems,
and other items in front of the tree.
Only a fourth of the oak, which
stands at the western edge of down
town, is alive.
“I’m glad to see that society can
have sympathy for a tree,” Cullen
said. “I think it may be somewhat
misguided, but if a tree can serve as
a focus to bring sympathy out of
people, then I’m glad to see that they
have the capacity for that.”
