Horton Helps Bill to Save State Funds for Education
State Sen. Ed Horton of Limestone and Lauderdale counties rose from hero to villain as his bill to end the insurance agents’ practice wins approval and Gov. Wallace signals support. Horton argues the move saves about 600000 over four years, placing funds in a trust for education and other needs. He also pushed resolutions urging Attorney General Flowers and federal judges to scrutinize HEW guidelines and block federal funds until legality is settled, insisting the money belongs to taxpayers. Horton vows to rally remaining lawmakers and even take the issue to the U S Supreme Court if needed, contending some guidelines exceed the Civil Rights Act of 1964.
