Interest group urges ban on ‘revolving dot AUSTIN (AP) — With 110 for mer state legislators and other ex officials reporting up to $44 million in income from lobbying, a public interest group says the “revolving door” from government to the lob by should be closed. The group Texans for Public Jus tice called for a lifetime ban on paid lobbying jobs by former legis lators, the governor and lieutenant governor, along with top state agency officials. “Stepping through the revolving door can instantly transform a $7,000-a-year legislator into a $1 million-a-year lobbyist,” Craig Mc Donald, the group’s director, said Monday. He said allowing officials to be come lobbyists raises questions about conflict of interest and erodes public confidence in gov ernment. “When the Legislature func tions as a finishing school for fu ture lobbyists, the public loses con fidence in the institution,” McDonald said. The group released a study that examined state financial disclosure reports filed by the 1,662 registered lobbyists on 1997 contracts, the last time the Legislature met in reg ular session. The reports do not re quire precise values on contracts, instead using a range such as $10,000 to $24,999. The Texans for Public Justice study said lobbyists reported be tween $91 million and $210 million in contracts from 2,304 clients. Ninety-one lobbyists were for mer members of the Legislature; 13 were former heads of state govern ment agencies; and six were for mer legislative officers. Those 110 ex-officials reported 1,159 con tracts worth up to $44 million. Andrew Wheat, the study’s au thor, said that while the average lobbyist reported income up to $126,000, the averageli cial reported lobbying: to $400,000. “That’s the premii| lobby puts on people of access,” he said. Noting that 25 stale federal government restrictions on moving eminent service intoli group made several ret tions. Chief among them time ban on paid lobb’ mer lawmakers andto] it also urged a life!: key staffers and official: former agencies orcoi lobbying on subjects ini were significantly invci two-year general proh lobbying for all senior; officials.

(■Reside n er^ge of 21 not relieve froi i the being cons ers, reside lowed to r Fine Settlers’ cemetery discovt^ Q OLD RIVER (AP) — An early settler’s family cemetery has been discovered on the site of a $3.2 million road expansion pro ject after a backhoe operator un covered nails and discolored soil in the shape of two coffins. The state project to widen FM 1409, about 15 miles east of Houston, has been halted while officials unearth the remains and rebury them elsewhere. In the meantime, official no tice has been printed in the local newspapers to alert any descen dants of plantation owner John Carman that the Carman family cemetery has been found. The cemetery, located on a bluff near a bridge that crosses Old River on FM 1409, is sup posed to include five graves with burials from 1850 to 1867, ac cording to historical records. Evidence of two of those graves has been found and there are plans to search for a third, but two others are believed to have been covered when FM 1409 first was built, said Texas Department of Transportation en gineer Ed Seymour.
