Perry critiques cancer program while Sanchez cites veto impact
At Memorial Health System of East Texas in Lufkin Perry touted a $4 million breast and cervical cancer program funded by $1.1 million state money and $3 million federal money approved by a bill two years ago but unfunded until Perry ordered payment. Sanchez accused Perry of vetoing a Medicaid restructuring bill that could have funded preventive care and expanded access for uninsured women, arguing the state could have over $400 million for health care.

Parents urge Amber Alert bill passage in House
Parents of abducted children press telephone and email campaign to urge House leaders to pass an Amber Alert bill this week. They warn delays could cost lives. Amber alerts originated in Texas and honor Amber Hagerman, a 9 year old girl abducted and murdered in Arlington. The House approved an Amber Alert measure but attached it to a broader bill, delaying passage and needing conference to resolve differences.
