Texas on Trail Highlights Bush Texas tour and fights over prison case
President Bush campaigned in Texas promising 755 million dollars in disaster relief for farmers and a 1 billion dollar farm export subsidy package while touting a 6 billion dollar sale of 150 F-16 jets to Taiwan. Barr criticized Morales for settling the Ruiz prison case as too favorable to inmates. Fort Worth officials welcomed the jet deal, and Governor Ann Richards praised the defense edge for Fort Worth despite Clinton's accusation of buyable Texas voters. The piece also notes trial lawyers study showing heavy legal contributions to Texas candidates, a new cigarette crossing rule for minors, and rankings on income and industry concerns.
