AUSTIN (AP) — In their 140-
day Capitol stay, state legisla
tors spent a record amount, cut
taxes and watched with fellow
Texans as Gov. George W. Bush
emerged as a force to be reck
oned with in presidential poli
tics.
The Republican governor
started 1999 by inviting law
makers to share in his national
spotlight. He ended it as the
opinion poll front-runner with
campaign trips to Iowa and
New Hampshire beginning June
12.
“I know there was a lot of
speculation, particularly because
of me,” Bush said. “But by and
large, the members (of the
Legislature) didn’t let that affect
their decisions.”
In a slap at the partisan-grid-
locked Congress, Bush said
Texas showed the nation how
lawmaking should be handled.
“People from both parties came
together for a brief period of time
and enacted a lot of law that will
make Texas a better place,” he
said. “I think people, when they
take an objective look, will say this
has been a good session.”
On the big money issues, law
makers took a $6.4 billion sur
plus, cut $1.85 billion in taxes
and spent a record $98.1 billion
— more than $9 billion higher
than the current budget.
They cut property taxes by
‘7 think people,
when they
take an
objective look,
will say this
has been a
good session. ”
- TEX. GOV.
GEORGE
W. BUSH
$1.35 billion, consumer taxes
by $277 million and business
taxes by $229 million. Bush had
wanted more tax cuts — $2.6
billion — but called these “sub
stantial.”
Critics called it too much
spending, too little tax relief.
“Using the budget surplus to
take us up this higher spending
path means trouble for Texas
taxpayers down the roa
Peggy Venable, director
Texas Citizens for a So;
Economy, said.
“It commits us to funqr
these new programs and hi§
salaries, yet when the econc
slows down and we have
budget surplus, taxpayers;
get hit with a tax increase.’
This was only the second
sion in the 20th century r
Republicans controlled one
the Legislature’s two houses
But the GOP’s one-sgj
Senate majority was enhar
by the century’s ffl
Republican lieutenant go
nor, Rick Perry. In the ISO-
House, Democratic control#
trimmed to 78-72.
Leaders insisted partisans
played no role.
"1 think people kept tl|i
partisanship checked at
door. There’s a lot of credit

ing — to people b|
Democrats and Republica:.
Bush said.
“You can’t do it by yoursi
Perry said. “There’s a lotp
teamwork around here.”
More repairs made to space statioi
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — Working fast,
astronauts fixed a broken radio, replaced flawed
battery packs and installed foam mufflers over
noisy fans Monday aboard the new international
space station.
They launched into the repairs within minutes
of entering the 77-foot orbiting complex late
Sunday. Several hours later, much of the work
was done.
“It literally was open the hatch and run in there
and get to work,” flight director Paul Hill said,
marveling at the crew’s speed and precision.
Two of space shuttle Discovery’s seven astro
nauts immediately went to work on the radio sys
tem inside the American-made Unity moduf
replacing two electronic boxes. The new pa:
allowed NASA to once again monitor all systet
aboard Unity.
The radio link from Unity was lost in April, jn
four months after the module was hoisted in
orbit.
At the same time, Russian Valery Tokarev ar
Canadian Julie Payette pulled up the floor insio
the Russian-built Zarya control module to reai
batteries that had not been charging right It
months.
Each of the six batteries has three electros
meters, and each meter needed to be replaced.

Turbulence rocks Hagler
landing jetliner
at DFW Airport
GRAPEVINE (AP) — Two
flight attendants were injured
Monday when an American
Airlines flight hit turbulence as it
approached Dallas-Fort Worth
International Airport.
None of the 72 passengers
aboard Flight 2006 were injured,
airline spokesperson Mark Slitt
said.
The MD-80 flight originated in
Seattle and landed at DFW short
ly before noon.
Thunderstorms were moving
through the area when the
plane, at 12,000 feet, hit turbu
lence about 30 miles from the
airport.
Slitt said the injuries appear
minor. One flight attendant
scraped her knee and required
no medical care.
Another bumped her head
twice and went to Baylor
Medical Center in Grapevine for
examination.

band’s research has focused on
the effect of violent language and
behavior.
“We’ve always had violence,”
Mrs. Conoley said, “We need to
find real solutions for the com
munity.”
Mr. Conoley said implement
ing more programs will not help
the community but instead allow
people to place the blame and
responsibility on others.
Tommy Ramirez, special pro
grams manager for the Brazos
County Juvenile Department, said
he has worked with developing
programs for high-risk youths.
He said it is possible that pro
grams can be founded through this
forum to allow people to become
more involved and responsible.
“In the end, it is possible that
everyone can come together for
the kids in the community,”
Ramirez said.
