AP reports Attorney General Mark White invalidated Governor Bill Clements vetoes on a $50 million welfare building allocation, Sun Bowl improvements, and higher parking fees. White argues these vetoes were riders, not appropriation items, and constitutional funds are ineligible for veto. The ruling precedes the fiscal 1980 1981 appropriations act taking effect. Additionally, a $40 million Texas Department of Human Resources building funded by federal money and housing for the Texas Youth Council is noted.
