Faith Lost In Solons, Panel Told
A Texas House committee heard testimony from preachers students lawyers Republicans and local politicians that the public has lost faith in the legislature. The hearing focused on a seven resolution package for probes into quick profit stock deals involving state officials and potential ties to two 1969 bank deposit insurance bills. Most attention centered on Rep Frances Farentholds joint House Senate inquiry. The group alleged in a SEC suit that the bills would shield banks from FDIC examination. State leaders denied links between the stock deals and the bills, which Gov Smith vetoed.
