Combest Sees Oil Bill Hit by Tax Reform Clash
U S Rep Larry Combest says conference committee tax reform could be tougher on oil and gas than the Senate bill. He backs most Senate provisions but calls House version devastating for industry. He notes Texas loses tax exemptions on bonds for projects like the Stacy Dam water program. He warns post conference amendments unlikely and predicts a reform bill will pass. He opposes amnesty and employer sanctions for illegals and highlights potential oil bills this year including Fuel Use Act repeal and windfall profits tax repeal.

Returning offenders jam prisons
Crowding in Texas prisons worsened by rising probation revocations. Officials blame budget cuts for intensive supervision programs, with revocations rising from 5813 in 1981 to 8371 in 1985 and 9943 readmitted in eight months of the current year. If trends continue, revocations could exceed 13000, a 55 percent rise.

County workers aid fire victim sparks criticism
Andrews County employees on county time helped 70 year old Ruby Jo Seed move smoke damaged furniture from her home after a June 24 fire caused by an evaporative cooler. Precinct 2 Commissioner W G Hathcock defended the act as Samaritan aid while critics note a history of public workers assisting private parties. County Judge Les Brown had previously condemned such private benefit work and pressed for sworn payroll assurances, though no indictments followed.
