County Delays Jail Recreation Decision as Court Cost Grows
Dallas County Commissioners seek to appeal a circuit court action that could cost 2 to 5 million dollars for an outdoor recreation facility at the jail. They directed attorney Karl Luna to pursue the stay back through circuit court and, if needed, to the U.S. Supreme Court. The plan stems from a 1972 order by U.S. District Judge Sarah T. Hughes requiring 12 jail improvements. The county would fund the roof remodel for recreation as a temporary measure, with a bond issue under consideration.

Convention Rejects Reynolds Proposals On Retirement Funds And Banks
Three failed attempts by Rep. Dick Reynolds of Richardson to reshape retirement fund language were met with defeats 114 to 27.

Final votes and a non-record stance on banking ended discussions for the night without voting on Section 24.
