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.

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.
