Hopeful Says No New Taxes Needed
Jim Wilson, a Democratic candidate for state comptroller, contends Texas can avoid a $150 million tax bill from the June special session by collecting out of state sales taxes. He accuses Bob Calvert, 81, of being unable to run the office and vows to audit out of state firms to recover owed taxes. Wilson warns the state misses about $80 million yearly in uncollected sales taxes and campaigns through Odessa and San Angelo.

Strawn murder trial moved to Lubbock over publicity
District Judge R L McKim ordered the Strawn case moved to Lubbock amid publicity around the murder of Mrs Giovanni. DA John Green says the trial date has been notified. Bobby Bell, a 22 year old former Texas Tech student from Big Spring, was sentenced to death in March but the verdict is on appeal. Green notes Bell was 16 at the time, making the death sentence inapplicable. Mrs Giovanni was stabbed during a Northeast Side grocery store robbery. Strawn has remained jailed since arrest.
