Wheat Growers Challenge Lawful Basis of 1971 Referendum
A group of Texas wheat growers filed a suit in U S District Court seeking a three judge panel to review the 1971 Texas Wheat Production Board referendum taxing growers for research. Plaintiffs allege voting rights were denied or misinterpreted rules allowed minors nonresidents trusts and corporations to vote. The suit cites former officials including John C White and Kenneth Kendrick as defendants and notes 966 of 1440 votes approved the half cent per bushel checkoff. The same report also covers a June 15 Texas Water Quality Board meeting on Amarillo Industries rendering plant waste discharge and related permit applications from several local firms.
