EL PASO — The Department
of Labor is to blame for a contrac
tor's more than $30,000 debt to
migrant workers going unpaid,
the contractor's attorney said
Monday.
But an attorney for the workers
asked state Judge Mary Anne
Bramblett to toss the contractor,
Juan H. Cigarroa Sr. in jail for vio
lating her April order that he pay
up.
"He has taken from my clients
the only two things they have,
their labor and their dignity," said
Mark Schneider, Texas Rural Le
gal Aid Inc. attorney in El Paso.
Bramblett said she would issue
a ruling next month.
But she had stern words for
Cigarroa in his contempt hearing.
"Mr. Cigarroa you have had
not one showing of good faith
since this case has been filed," the
judge said angrily. "You have not
paid one penny while this case
has been pending in my court."
Cigarroa signed a federal con
sent order in 1988 to settle work
ers' claims that he had misled
them about work in Colorado.
Workers took him back to
court in 1991 and in April 1992
Bramblett ordered Cigarroa to
give the workers $17,000 and pay
the remainder in installments of
$60 a day.
In the hearing that led to the
April ruling, Cigarroa said he was
receiving $120 a day from his son.
His court-appointed attorney,
Gary Aboud, said Cigarroa was
unable to comply with the April
order because the Department of
Labor had taken Cigarroa's son's
license, putting the elder Cigarroa
out of work.
"I think unfortunately the real
culprit in this ... is the Labor De
partment," Aboud said.
"The only hope these workers
had of recovering their money
would have been if (Cigarroa)r.)
would have been allowed to keep
his license."
He accused the Labor Depart
ment of being on a witchhunt and
continuing to harass Cigarroa,
who has been cited several times
by the department.
But Mark Schneider, Texas
Rural Legal Aid attorney inEl
Paso, reminded the judge thatii
her previous ruling she found
Cigarroa had $17,000 he could
pay the workers.
He cited a Texas Suprenu
Court ruling in another case ii
which the justices decided "sim
ply saying I spent it is not suffi
cient."
"He has a history of circum
venting the law and flaunting th
law r and he thinks the law does
not apply to him," Schneider said

THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
AUSTIN — Lt. Gov. Bob Bullock, whose partici
pation in state government dates back more than 30
years, plans to seek re-election in 1994, a spokesman
said Monday.
The Democrat's announcement
was made without fanfare during
a meeting with about 170 political
supporters, said Tony Proffitt of
Bullock's campaign staff.
"What he said was, 'If any of
you hadn't thought I was going to
run — let me set the record
straight'," Proffitt reported.
Bullock, 63, is in his first term
in the state's second-highest and
arguably most powerful office.
The lieutenant governor presides
Bullock
over the Senate, appoints Senate committees and
controls the flow of legislation through that chamber.
Bullock defeated Houston oilman Rob Mosbacher
Jr. in the 1990 election. Prior to that, Bullock had
been elected state comptroller in 1974, 1978,1982and
1986.
Proffitt said Monday's meeting of supporters was
called to discuss preparations for a major fund-rais
ing event scheduled for November.
The Legislature convenes its 140-day regular ses
sion in January, during which state officeholdersaie
prohibited from raising campaign funds. Bullock
also envisions the likelihood of some additional spe
cial sessions, Proffitt said, as lawmakers grapple
with budget and school funding problems.
"We're getting our troops together early," he said
"I don't think there was ever any doubt in his
mind that he would be running. But for those few
people who may have been at the Olympics in Spain
or off on some other planet, he was just bringing
them up to speed," Proffitt said.
A graduate of Texas Tech University and Baylor
Law School, Bullock served in the Texas House from
1957 to 1959. After several years of practicing law,he
became an assistant attorney general in 1967.
Penny-wise
importance
shopper emphasizes
of good spending habits
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON - Perhaps the
nation's most penny-wise shopper
— Ralph Nader — says that if
Americans would only learn to
buy more wisely, they'd save so
much money it would be like giv
ing themselves a raise.
"Everyone talks about job
skills, parenting skills, but not
enough about shopping skills,"
Nader said Monday at a news
conference to introduce his latest
publication, "The Frugal Shop
per," a guide through the snarly
pathways of the marketplace.
His book, co-authored by
lawyer and consumer activist
Wesley J. Smith, isn't about specif
ic retail products. Instead, it focus
es on the questions consumers
should ask to get the best buy on
essentials like insurance, automo
biles, contractors, credit, banking,
lawyers utilities food, doctors and
housing.
It's a concept that's as old as the
republic, Nader pointed out by
quoting Benjamin Franklin's
adage, "A pgnny saved is a penny
earned."
But since Franklin's time, the
marketplace has become so com
plicated, people simply abandon
themselves to the sellers, not both
ering to research their purchases.
This leads to a lot of wasteful
buying, Nader says, with sellers
getting rich and buyers needing
two incomes just to make ends
meet.
If consumers take a few hours
to educate themselves about prod
ucts and services and then shop
around, they'll pressure the mar
ket to improve quality and have
'?ft< ' '
money left over for leisure or edu
cational activities, the consumer
activist says.
"When you save money in the
marketplace, it's equivalent to
giving yourself a raise," he said.
Samples of "don't buys" from
the handbook:
— Credit cards with 18 percent
interest rates when there are ones
with 12 percent available.
— Credit card insurance: priceis
high, benefits low.
— A lawyer who's not an expert
in your specific area of need.
— A doctor who won't accept
the assignment from Medicare.
— A loan with a prepayment
penalty.
— Service contracts. If the war
ranty isn't good enough to protect
you, the product is probably
shoddy.
— Banks that charge for auto
matic teller services.
Gore vies for votes
THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
DETROIT — Al Gore said Sat
urday that the White House has
"brought pink slips not pay-
checks" to thousands of U.S. au
toworkers, and he dismissed GOP
claims that the Democratic ticket's
policies would hurt the U.S. car
industry.
The Tennessee senator, appear
ing in auto-dependent Michigan
on the heels of visits by President
Bush and Vice President Dan
Quayle, also fended off Republi
can attacks on his environmental
record.
His appearance before a cheer
ing crowd at the state Democratic
convention was meant to energize
the Democratic base in a Rust Belt
state that will be key to wrestling
control of the White House from
the Republicans.
Gore, limping after straining a
calf muscle during a morning jog,
said he ar d Clinton were "com

Allen Jennings had been serv
ing an eight-year term since Feb
ruary 1991 on an aggravated sex
ual assault conviction out of Bra
zoria County.
Brown said Jennings was in the
main hallway of the prison just
before noon when another inmate
allegedly "walked up behind Jen
nings and slit his throat with a
box-blade knife."
No charges had been filed
against the other inmate.
Brown said officials knew of no
motive in the case.
Brown said the 35-year-old sus
pect has been serving a life sen
tence for murder out of Jones
County since September 1982.
Jennings was pronounced dead
in the hallway at 1:40 p.m., Brown
said, adding workers were unable
to move the inmate because he
was bleeding so profusely.
Brown said officials ordered an
"institutional lock down to search
for all weapons" Monday night.
The internal affairs division is
conducting, an investigation of the
slaying.
