Blanchard Leads Fight To Defeat Boondoggle in Senate
Texas senator Blanchard, D-Lubbock, led a bid with 11 Republicans to defeat a $63 million retirement plan for guards and patrol workers framed as a boondoggle. He blasted the proposal as costly and risky to taxpayers while opposing a plan that would let workers retire early at 38 to 41 with 40 percent pay. Moore argued tentative support could advance the bill, but it was rejected 18 to 1 leaving supporters urging action while Blanchard warned of rising future tax burdens.

Independent Gasoline Allocations Proposed to Share Shortage
Major oil firms control about 95 percent of supply and would allocate crude and products to independents at the same levels as their wholesale and retail outlets. Allocation would likely be based on sales during a shortage year like 1972, keeping distribution percentages while total allocations drop. Simon said the plan aims to share the shortage and aid small independents, though initial comments suggested independents might not be helped.
