Attorney General Reverses Salary Supplement Ruling
Price Daniel's office reversed prior rulings and held Texas cannot supplement the pay of a federal market news specialist. The state must not issue a $199 warrant to Glen L. Ellison of the USDA. The decision ends the joint market news service funding method and overturns the 1939 legality finding. It also permits paying field seed inspector travel from inspection-fee funds.
