State Treasurer's 1994 Texpool bailout questioned
A Texas attorney general opinion says Martha Whitehead illegally used state funds in December 1994 to buy Texpool assets at above market value to prevent local losses. The bailout cost about 55 million to taxpayers, with Morales' staffers and Whitehead disputing the characterization. The piece also links VitaPro meat substitute contracts and a separate voter guides ruling, plus a separate jail and water system case.
