The following is a collection of editorial pieces from Texas newspapers compiled by The Associated Press. The item presents a snapshot of local and state perspectives on public policy and issues debated in Texas during the period.
The piece argues that seasonal philanthropy hides a persistent rise in homelessness and rising laws criminalizing living on the streets. It cites USA Today reports on New York City quality of life enforcement, Tucson loitering zones, Berkeley storefront sweeps, and Austin bans on camping and sleeping in public. National Law Center on Homelessness and Poverty warns moving people out of sight fails to help.
Gov. George W. Bush and three fellow GOP governors toured Israel with the National Jewish Coalition. They met Netanyahu and Israeli leaders, while Bush sought to clarify earlier religious remarks. Critics noted no formal candidacy yet and viewed the trip as a testing of waters.
Joseph Sobran argues that the Clinton impeachment question hinges on the meaning of high crimes and misdemeanors. He criticizes the defense for narrowing terms and questions whether perjury and inappropriate conduct justify impeachment while noting constitutional limits. Sobran, an Arlington, Virginia writer, critiques partisan arguments and defends a rigorous reading of constitutional standards.
Don Feder questions public empathy for homelessness, noting declining media attention after 1993 and shifts from dramatic advocacy to tougher municipal actions. He critiques myths about homeless families, argues most homeless are mentally ill or substance dependent, and suggests expanded shelters and mandatory mental evaluations as potential remedies.
