Gladeites Air Views To Rep John Allen
Rep John Allen of Longview met Gregg County voters in Gladewater to discuss the Legislature. He criticized the retirement bill and pay raise as foolish and predicted defeat on the August 5 constitutional amendment. Allen praised local independence, noted changing attitudes toward federal aid to education, and warned of higher costs as the session winds down. He stressed a bare bones appropriation plan and said a new district court would address rising crime.
