STATE BRIEFS From win reports Ruling still hinders Dallas City Council □ DALLAS (AP) — The Dallas city government remains in limbo almost a year after a federal judge invalidated the city’s system of electing a mayor and City Coun cil. The impact of the ruling and the subsequent failure to resolve the issue has hindered the ability of the current Council to set pol icy and address issues. Grass fire ignites at firemen’s party □ SAN ANTONIO (AP) - At least 100 cars were damaged by fire when dry grass ignited Sun day afternoon at a cookoff spon sored by the San Antonio Fire fighters Association, authorities said. There were no initial reports of injuries, though Bexar County Fire Marshal dispatcher John Longoria said several people were treated for heat exhaustion. Officials see end to S&L crisis □ DALLAS (AP) — The turmoil that has plagued the Texas sav ings and loans industry in recent years is slowly losing its sting, officials say. Congress and federal regula tors will continue to use money allocated to the Resolution Trust Corp. to weed out more than 50 thrifts still operating under gov ernment control. But the savings and loans storm has apparently passed over. “We’re seeing things stabilize, finally,” said David Quinn, chair man of Texas Trust Savings in Marble Falls, northwest of Aus tin. Treasurer: Taxes hurt investment Continued from pagel Texas' problems with workers compensation laws. "I don't think we've solved our workers' comp, problem,' Hutchison said. "Many compa nies that have looked at Texas and not come here have cited thi problem as a major reason foi not coming. With this disadvan tage, we need the advantaged no state income tax." Hutchison said as acting banker for Texas, one of he: main duties is investing taxpaj ers' money. "I am proud of our investmen! record," she said. "In the first two months of the calendar year, we rate ourselves against all of the money market funds in America, and we have come out number three in the nation." She said when the treasun earns money on its investments, more money can be spent on higher education without furthei taxing state funds. A major policy of the treasuij is to invest state money in Texas firms and national firms with ol fices in Texas, Hutchison said. "It is important that we invest in these firms because these pee pie have an investment in Tex as," she said. "I want to return that and keep those dollars in Texas." Hutchison said one of the larg est problems the state faces is thf school finance problem. She said the state Supreme Court deo sion, establishing an April 1 deadline for resolution of tne cri sis, was unfortunate and did not give enough time to find a long term solution. "I am concerned that we have not yet started talking about the quality of education, but onlj about money," she said. "I hope that the Legislature will not rush to do something, and end up doing something that will be del rimental, just to meet the deadli ne." Hutchison said the Kentucky Legislature responded with ap propriate action when faced with a similar court order by over hauling its entire educational system. "There was increased spend ing, but the people accepted it because they saw the money was going toward improvement iu education," Hutchison said, 'j think attention to educational quality is the ingredient that is missing from our Legislative proposal."
