AUSTIN (AP) — Seventeen
state House members, including
one Democrat, consistently voted
for measures favoring the tobacco
industry during the just-ended
legislative session, according to a
report released Tuesday.
Texans for Public Justice, a public
interest group, also said in its report
that 38 House members, including
one Republican, consistently voted
against tobacco interests.
The group identified four
record votes in the House on
which it based its conclusions.
The Senate did not cast record
votes directly on any of the issues
cited, according to the group.
“The 38 House members who
stood up to the powerful tobac
co lobby deserve the praise of
every Texan who cares about the
health of our children,” said
Craig McDonald, director of the
Austin-based group. “Voters
also should take note of those
members who voted a straight
tobacco-lobby ticket and con
sider relegating them to the ash
tray of history.”
Public Justice cited Rep. Tom
Uher, D-Bay City, as the only
Democrat to vote in line with tobac
co industry interests on the votes.
“I don’t think it’s a partisan
issue,” Uher said of tobacco
votes. “To me, it all boiled down
to until the government deter
mines that tobacco is an illegal
product, they should not be
treated differently than any
other products that are out
there in the marketplace."
They included amendments
to reduce proposed restrictions
on the location of tobacco prod
ucts in retail stores; two mea
sures to reduce funding enforce
ment of anti-youth smoking
efforts; and one to allow tobacco
companies to maintain the
secrecy of ingredients that would
reveal trade secrets.
Only the tobacco ingredients
amendment was approved. The bill
to which it was attached is awaiting
Gov. George W. Bush’s approval.
If signed, the bill would
It would for the first time cre-^
ate fines against youths under 18 ’
for buying or possessing tobacco
products. The measure also
would impose a 10 percent fee
on the gross sales price for out
door advertising of tobacco
products and would eliminate'
“self-service” tobacco displays
Uher said he has received onl^
minimal tobacco-industry cam
paign funds. He called the two ;jt U
bills on which the four votes were,

product’s ingredients. The list
could be made public, but
would not contain the amount

The amendment exempts from
disclosure any information that
would reveal a trade secret.
Some lawmakers tried to attach
the other amendments to an anti
youth smoking bill, also awaiting
Gov. George W. Bush's signature.
