Construction worke
deaths hit record hi
Monday, Sep
DALLAS (AP) — A five-
year building boom in Texas has
come at a high cost for the
state’s construction workers.
Construction workers —
most of them Hispanic — across
the state are dying at rates high
er than at any time since compa
rable bookkeeping began a
decade ago. The Dallas
Morning News reported in its
Sunday’s editions.
Last year, fatalities jumped
26 percent from 1999 and 5.6
percent ahead of the 1998 peak.
That is in sharp contrast to a
national decline.
The death rate per HX).(KX)
workers, which takes work vol
ume into account, is not yet
known but almost certainly
matched or exceeded the record
set in 1998.
That would make Texas' rate
about 50 percent higher than the
national rate.
The industry is by far the
state’s riskiest, employing just 6
percent of the work force but
accounting for 26 percent of on-
the-job deaths.
Safety regulators and indus
try officials say they are dis-
turbed by the surge in fatali
ties.

NEWS IN BRIEF
City election ballots destroyed
HOUSTON (AP) — The shredding of more than
2,500 ballots from a Crockett city election earlier
this year has prompted a Houston County official to
ask for an investigation.
A group of Crockett residents had submitted an
open records request to Crockett City Secretary
Betty Gilbert to examine everything connected to
the May 5 city election from the ballots to the bal
lot boxes and locks.
Gilbert has acknowledged she shredded more
than 2,500 ballots from the election while the open
records request was still pending, the Houston
Chronicle reported Sunday.
Gilbert, who was on vacation last week, could not
be reached for comment:
