Shivers expected to name state officials and regents
Gov. Shivers will soon reappoint Maj. Gen. K. J. Berry as adjutant general and Mark Wentz as State Fire Insurance commissioner. The governor also plans to name a new secretary of state, a highway commission member, three new Texas A and M College regents, and three A and M College directors. Insurance bills seek higher capital requirements and stricter licensing. Labor control bills aim to curb strikes and impose penalties, while a bill would create a state industrial commission and supervised elections on union representation. A permanent Texas home for rare whooping cranes would be created along the Gulf Coast. The Veterans Land Board tightens loan approvals for veterans, and a Travis County grand jury probes land sales with 22 witnesses summoned.
