Requests for emergency federal relief funds denied
granted emergency declarations. Bush said in a statement.
“The strategy of thp state of Texas, which has been
consistently supported by the federal government, has
been to meet a threat before there was loss of life and
property,” Bush said.
A dozen state agencies are assisting the Texas Forest
Service to help fight wildfires.
As of Wednesday, about 70 active fires had burned
10,000 acres of Texas, forest service officials said.
Since July 16, about 1,575 homes have been threat
ened, with 27 lost, the division said. The Forest Service
estimates that 29,000 fires have burned about 550,000
acres of grass, brush and forest across the state this year.

Drug companies
sued for fraud
AUSTIN (AP) — The Texas at
torney general sued three drug
companies Thursday, alleging
they committed Medicaid fraud
by overcharging the state more
than $20 million for respiratory
disease medicines since 1995.
“All three defendants — Dey
Inc., Roxane Laboratories Inc.
and Warrick Pharmaceuticals —
falsely inflated the prices they re
ported for respiratory medica
tion. They then turned around
and sold drugs to pharmacies for
drastically reduced prices,” said
Attorney General John Comyn.
