a scotch and water."
Collins said selling liquor "to
go" would be legal, and delivery
could be legal if a special permit
were obtained.
"A package store like JJ.'s can
get a local package permit," Col-
said. "This would allow
delivery of daiquiris by the res-
didn't
tins
them to deliver liquor within a
two-mile radius of the city they
are located in."
Moati said Fat Burger did not
secure any permits. He said the

Sale of liquor away from a lic
ensed premise is punishable by
a $100 to $1,000 fine and a jail
term of up to one year. The vio
lation would also result in sus
pension of the owner's license.
Collins said no charges had
been filed against Moati or Fat
Burger. He said no decision con
ceming charges would be made
until the agents who investi
gated the deliveries filed their re
ports.
House leaders commit to finding funds
to fully support state's education system
AUSTIN (AP) — Some House
leaders said Wednesday, in the
wake of a decision upholding the
state's new school finance law,
that they intend to fully fund the
education system.
Lawmakers are meeting in a
special session, which ends next
Tuesday, to write a state budget
facing a $4.8 billion deficit.
State District Judge F. Scott
McCown upheld the property
tax system created by the state's
new school finance law, but said
the $1.7 billion plan must be
funded to be equitable.
However, House members
this week approved a two-year
state budget that would slash
state spending and a $30 million
tax bill that could be up to $1.5
billion short of paying even for
that. Senate leaders say about
$2.5 billion to $2.8 billion in new
revenue would be required for
their proposed spending plan.

Legislature
considers
bonds for
plant sites
AUSTIN (AP) — Gov. Arc
Richards on Wednesday opened
the agenda of the special session
to legislation that would allow
the state to issue $500 million in
bonds to help attract a McDon
nell Douglas aircraft plant.
Eight sites in the nation are be
ing considered for the airaafi
plant, including Alliance Airport
in Fort Worth and Ellington Field
in Houston.
Last week. House Speaker Git -
Lewis, D-Fort Worth, introduced
legislation to issue the bonds as
part of an incentive package tc?

The plant would manufacture
the new MD-12 jet, a 375-passen
ger commercial aircraft. It would
create 8,600 direct jobs, 14,0(10
indirect jobs and 12,250 con
struction jobs, according to the
speaker's office.
Lawmakers are meeting u
special session to write and pay
for a 1992-93 state budget. The
session ends Tuesday.
Meanwhile voters in Kansas
City, Mo., overwhelmingly re
jected a proposed property tax
increase that would have helped
finance the new plant if McDon
nell Douglas selected that city fo:
the site.
The vote Tuesday was 26,2
to 42,902, or 38 percent in favor
and 62 percent against.
Proponents said after the de
feat that they would continue
the campaign to get the plant
but consider Kansas City to be
much less attractive.
"Had we passed the tax in
crease, we would have been
high above the crowd," Cleaver
said. "I think we would've been
a shoo-in. Now we are in th
running with every other city."
Pat Houtakker, 32, who voted
against both proposals, said
first, the city should not be sub
sidizing McDonnell Douglas and
second, regressive taxes are hi;
enough.

DALLAS (AP) — A 17-year-
old lawsuit over care for the
mentally retarded took a sudden
turn Wednesday with a pro
posed settlement that may close
two of Texas' 13 state schools.
The action surprised observers
and upset some families of the
retarded.
The closures, endorsed by
Gov. Ann Richards, would be a
first for Texas, which has never
closed a state school since the
system began in 1917.
"We worked very hard to
bring that about," Richards said
of the settlement.
Closing schools would result
in several hundred residents be
ing placed in smaller care set
tings in many Texas commu
nities.
In addition, the settlement
would mean the gradual end of
federal court monitoring of state
schools, which has occurred
since 1983.
"It's a good agreement for the
state and for the plaintiffs," said
Paul Coggins, a private attorney
hired by the Texas Attorney
General's Office to represent the
Department of Mental Health-
Mental Retardation. "It's much
better to spend state money on
the clients than on the liti
gation."
Before the settlement can be
implemented, it requires appro
val from U.S. District Judge
Barefoot Sanders, who is over
seeing the case, and creation of a
task force to recommend either
closing or consolidating state
' >ls.
Otherwise, litigation would
continue in the case known as
Lelsz vs. Kavanagh.
"If by 1994 a state school is not
closed, we're back in court," said
David Ferleger, the Philadelphia
attorney representing 2,000 ot
the roughly 7,000 state school
residents.

While endorsed by Ferleger,

case is furious over the set

Sting operation by Texas Rangers
apprehends former chief of police
HALTOM CITY (AP) — A former Azle police
chief will be charged with organizing criminal
activity for allegedly putting together an out
law squad to rob drug dealers in their homes,
officials said.
David Wilhelm was arrested Tuesday after
he rushed into a Haltom City home filled with
Texas Rangers in a sting operation organized
by a detective whom Wilhelm thought he had
recruited, authorities said.
Officers Wednesday issued a warrant for a
former Azle reserve police officer, who is be
lieved to be a member of the group. The orga
nization allegedly was going to target about 15
drug dealers in Tarrant County.
Authorities said Wilhelm and the other man
believed they had recruited Haltom City Detec
tive Charles Beltram, who had once worked
with Wilhelm.
But Beltram was cooperating with the Texas
led Wilhelm to a house
Rangers and Tuesday led
where nine Rangers were waiting.
"I thought this whole thing was a setup,"
Beltram said. "Once he told me the plans, I
contacted the Texas Rangers. They've been
aware of this for several weeks."
Wilhelm, 45, of Springtown, was released
from the Haltom City Jail Wednesday on a writ
of habeas corpus, said Haltom City police
ivsMiiiiia
Commander Wayne McQueary.
Charges of engaging in organized criminal
activity will be filed against Wilhelm either
Thursday or Friday, officials said.
Officers have not determined if the group
had raided any homes of suspected drug deal
ers, McQueary said.

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — San
Antonio's new curfew nearly
nabbed its first violator, but the
Constitution got in the way.
San Antonio police said Adan-
jesus Quavez, 15, co-chairman of
Students United for Justice,
avoided receiving the first cita
tion early Wednesday by claim
ing one of the many exemptions
in the ordinance.
"He said he was exercising his
First Amendment right to assem
ble," said Patrolman James
Jones, who was prepared to
write Quavez a ticket shortly af
ter the curfew went into effect at
12:01a.m.
"That's one of the weaknesses
of the curfew, these exceptions,"
Jones said.
Officers began enforcing the
city's new curfew shortly after
midnight after receiving special
citation forms and instructions
on curfew enforcement.
The ordinance bans youths
under 17 from being out in pub
lic between midnight and 6 a.m.
Five members of the League of
United Latin American Citizens
Youth Council 301 gathered on a
sidewalk to greet the start of the
curfew with a protest. Chavez
joined the group.
Patrolman Jones and Patrol
man Patrick- Gallagher con
fronted the youths who had
gathered for the protest.
"Hey Adan, you gonna be the
first?" Jones asked. As Jones pre
pared to write the citation. Qua-
vez and the others told the offi
cers they were exercising their
First Amendment rights to as
semble peacefully.
