□ Prosecutors seek an increase
in bail for woman accused of
gunning down Tejano female
singing star.
CORPUS CHRISTI (AP) — The woman
accused of murdering Tejano music star Se
lena was examined in a hospital emergency
room the day before the Grammy-winning
artist was killed, police authorities said
Wednesday.
Yolanda Saldivar, 34, was examined in
the emergency room at Doctors Regional
Medical Center on Thursday, just a day be
fore she met Selena Quintanilla-Perez in a
budget motel room.
Commander U.B. Alverado said Corpus
Christi police subpoenaed those records ear
lier this week.
Saldivar, who founded Selena’s fan club
and ran a San Antonio boutique and salon
owned by the singer, was arrested and jailed
Friday night following a 9 1/2-hour standoff
with police that started when Selena was
gunned down. Saldivar remains in an isolat
ed cell under suicide watch at the Nueces
County Jail in lieu of $100,000 bond.
Alverado declined to say why Saldivar
was taken to the emergency room, saying
only that the examination was done in con
nection with “an allegation of an offense.” In
checking out the complaint, police discov
ered the emergency room visit and then
seized those records.
No official complaint of the alleged of
fense has been filed, Alverado said. He
would not verify if the incident was an actu
al criminal act.

moved to Corpus Christi as a child.

Texas House considers welfare refor
m
□ Critics complain that
a proposed benefits
cap will devastate
low-income families.
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas
House on Wednesday began de
bating an overhaul of the state’s
welfare system that aims to put
people back to work and cut the
soaring costs of providing ser
vices to the poor.
The House recessed without
taking any action on the bill and
planned on continuing the de
bate later today.
The measure would cap cash
benefits paid under the Aid to
Families with Dependent Chil
dren program, impose time lim
its on those benefits and require
welfare recipients to work.
“This bill restores public confi
dence in public assistance pro
grams,” said Republican Rep.
Harvey Hilderbran of Kerrville,
the bill’s author.
Hilderbran called the plan “one
of the most comprehensive bills in
the country that addresses ...
change that we need in welfare
and public assistance policy.”
The plan is the result of two
years’ work by state Comptroller
John Sharp and legislators,
Hilderbran said. It also is one of
Gov. George W. Bush’s top four
legislative priorities.
Currently, a typical Texas
welfare family consisting of a
mother and two children re
ceives a total of $188 a month in
AFDC payments.
The bill would limit cash ben
efits by prohibiting mothers who
have more children while on wel
fare from receiving any more ad
ditional benefits.
A mother who gives birth 10
months after she begins receiv
ing aid would receive no addi
tional benefits for the child. An
excluded child, however, still
could get Medicaid and other se
lected social services.
The original bill included a
fallback provision calling for a
maximum family grant of $184 a
month that would take effect
should the family cap be invali
dated by a court.
The bill, however, was
amended to delete that provi
sion, which many lawmakers
had said they objected to.
“There’s a real concern that
the family grant amount would
cost the state $10.5 million
general revenue over thenra
ennium and $96.7 millioninl
eral Medicaid funds,” said!
