Texas lawmakers to probe $100 million veterans land program
The Senate committee led by Hardeman opened hearings with Rep. Tom Cheatham and other members to study the postwar veterans land program. Allegations from South Texas veterans alleged misleads and unseen properties spurred inquiry. The veterans land board, including Gov. Shivers and officials, reviewed block land deals and delayed action on a South Texas trio's offer to assume liability for veteran sales as the panel planned deeper scrutiny.
