AUSTIN (AP) — An ethics proposal that Lt. Gov.
Bob Bullock said would help make officials “account
able to one boss, the people of Texas,” was introduced
Wednesday with support from the entire Senate.
The call for ethics reform has been highlighted by
news reports of lobbyist spending and the recent indict
ment of House Speaker Gib Lewis on two misdemeanor
counts of alleged ethics violations.
Lewis himself says he supports ethics reform. Bullock
said that in meeting with the speaker, “I found him
most cooperative and very willing— in every respect a
true gentleman ... in our negotiations.”
Initial support from all 30 senators and Bullock vir
tually guarantees Senate passage of some type of ethics
legislation, although historically the Legislature has
taken a position that morality cannot be legislated.
The ethics bill and proposed constitutional amend
ment were introduced by Sen. Bob Glasgow, who said
the bill could be improved in committee.
“We think we can make this bill better, we can make it
stronger and we can make it work more effectively for
all people in the state of Texas,” he said.
The amendment, which must be approved at a
statewide election, would create a seven-member ethics
commission, headed by the secretary of state and in-
Glasgow, D-Stephenville, said although 30 senators
are sponsoring the proposal all 30 “are not in unity
about the issues within this bill.”
But he said, “It is strong ethics reform.”
Greyhound racing back on track
CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) — Tex
ans have taken a quick liking to pari
mutuel greyhound racing in the two
months since the sport returned to
the state.
About 300,000 people have at
tended races since the back-to-back
openings of Harlingen’s Valley
Greyhound Park and the Corpus
Christi Greyhound Race Track on
Nov. 14 and 15. The two tracks
brought legal, pari-mutuel grey
hound racing back to Texas for the
first time in 53 years.
“Both of them are right at expec
tations,” said Hilary Doran, an Aus
tin attorney who is one of three ap
pointed members of the Texas
Racing Commission’s Greyhound
Section.
More than $18.5 million was wa
gered on the dogs in the first two
months; a 6 percent state tax
brought in more than $1 million.
The tracks also have generated
thousands of dollars in sales, admis
sions, and alcoholic beverage taxes
and employ hundreds of people.

eluding two members each appointed by the governor,
lieutenant governor and speaker.
The commission, under provisions in the bill, would
have the power to conduct audits, subpoena records
and levy heavy civil penalties.
“I really believe the ethics commission ought to be
given a lot of authority and a lot of power,” Bullock
said.
Lewis, D-Fort Worth, also said he supports creation
of an ethics commission.
The > House bill probably will have some “minor
changes” from the Senate measure, Lewis said.
Other provisions in the Senate bill would restrict
lobby spending; require reporting of an official’s per
sonal financial dealings; set limits on political contribu
tions; and cap the amount an officeholder may spend
on personal living expenses.
The constitutional proposal also would give the com
mission authority to set legislative pay and submit the
recommendations to voters for approval.
Success for the greyhounds par
ticularly is welcome in light of the
slow start experienced by horse rac
ing tracks since the Legislature legal
ized both types of pari-mutuel rac
ing in 1987.
The commission has yet to ap
prove licenses for the Class 1 horse
tracks reserved for the state’s three
largest counties.
A smaller Class 2 horse track at
Brady opened for three months in
1989, held no races last year and lost
its license for 1991. Another Class 2
track at Goliad never opened and
also lost its 1991 license. Horse
tracks planned for Lubbock and Del
Rio withdrew their applications, said
Racing Commission spokeswoman
Angie Roberts.
Dog track operators consistently
said they expected to do better be
cause greyhound parks are smaller
and cheaper to operate than horse
tracks.
Greyhound tracks have far ex
ceeded the expectations of some
Texas fans.
Juan Sanchez, a Harlingen office
building custodian, said he and his
wife had financial problems and
only $45 in the bank until he visited
the track in early January. He won a
total of about $4,000 that night on
three bets.
“Maybe God was helping me out,”
Sanchez said.
But he keeps in mind the people
who did not leave the track better
off.
“A friend of my wife lost $150 or
$200 there last Saturday,” Sanchez
said.
The biggest single winner so far at
either track was retiree Della Miller.
She won $30,732 at the Harlingen
track Jan. 13. The “winter Texan”
from West Virginia, was the only
one to pick the first three dogs in ex
act order in two consecutive races in
a competition known as the twin tri-
fecta.
She picked the first race with a
less-than-scientific method.
“I used to be a personnel director
in Ohio and the store number was
618,” Mrs. Miller said, so she picked
Nos. 6, 1 and 8 to come in first, sec
ond and third.
She picked the second race by us
ing the racing program information,
the method the tracks recommend.
Because pari-mutuel wagering
pits the fans against each other, the
tracks lose nothing when people win.
They offer betting seminars on the
finer points of reading dogs’ records
from the forms and choosing win
ning combinations.
“I feel pretty safe to say that we’re
here to stay,” said Ed Mew, general
manager at Valley Greyhound Park,
which is operated by British-owned
Ladbroke Racing Corp., a subsidiary
of the world’s largest commercial
betting company.
