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."
