  • JM-1142 Chairman Committee on Inter- Re: Types of Retirement Plans Governmental Relations That Appraisal Districts May Texas State Senate Offer Their Employees P
    February 12, 1990 Honorable Hugh Parmer Opinion No. JM-1142 Chairman Committee on Inter- Re: Types of retirement plans governmental Relations that appraisal districts may Texas State Senate offer their employees P. 0. Box 12068 (RQ-1778) Austin, Texas. .78711 Dear Senator Parmer: We understand you to ask essentially two questions. First, you ask us to specify the types of retirement plans that an appraisal district may offer its employees. Second, you wish to know what will be the income tax consequences to individual appraisal district employees and the proper method of disbursing funds held in any retirement plans in the event that any plans already in place were entered into improperly. Your opinion 'request is prompted.by. the issuance of Attorney General Opinion JM-1068 (1989), which concluded that appraisal districts were without authority to enter into certain contracts providing retirement plans for appraisal district employees. We construed the question submitted in that request to ask whether an appraisal district had the authority to create a local retirement system, authority similar to that conferred on incorporated cities and towns by V.T.C.S. article 6243k and on counties by V.T.C.S. article 62283. Because no statute confers explicit authority on appraisal districts or, for that matter, on any other sort of.special.district to create such a local system, we concluded that no such authority existed.1 The opinion apparently has been misconstrued to 1. This opinion should not be construed to call into question the legitimacy of a plan authorized by special law creating a special district.

  • Texas Monthly’S 34 Years of Reviews of the Ten Best and Ten Worst State Legislators
    YELLOW DOG JOURNALISM: A Comprehensive Review of the Work and People Behind Texas Monthly’s 34 Years of Reviews of the Ten Best and Ten Worst State Legislators by Gina Parker Ford, J.D. Copies of this report can be obtained at: www.ginaparker.net Thirty-four years ago, Texas Monthly magazine began publishing a bi-annual ―Ten Best and Ten Worst‖ article on Texas State legislators. It has become a much anticipated review by political insiders in Austin and die-hard politicos across the State. The magazine stated in its July 1975 edition the following as the basis for evaluation and judging the performance of Texas legislators: In choosing the best and worst legislators, we avoided any consideration of their political philosophy. The test of a good member—or a bad one—should be the same whether a person is conservative or liberal. A good legislator is intelligent, hard working, well prepared, and accessible to reason; because of these qualities, he is respected by his colleagues and effective in debate. He uses power skillfully but does not abuse it; he is admired, rather than mistrusted, for his strategic ability. As an adversary he is viewed not with fear but with healthy respect. But a comprehensive review of the 34 year history of the ―Ten Best and Ten Worst List‖ shows the lists never really met their own lofty goal. Distinct patterns of bias and prejudice against Hispanics, Conservatives, Republicans, and Women and Black members of the Legislature are easily apparent. Conservatives and Hispanics often dominate the ―Worst List‖ and can be twice as likely to make the ―Ten Worst List‖ as compared to the ―Ten Best.‖ The most likely profile of a candidate for ―Ten Best‖ is white, urban, liberal, male, and Democrat.

  • Desegreagating Fort Worth's
    COWTOWN AND THE COLOR LINE: DESEGREGATING FORT WORTH’S PUBLIC SCHOOLS by TINA NICOLE CANNON Bachelor of Arts, 1999 University of Texas Austin, Texas Master of Arts, 2001 Baylor University Waco, Texas Submitted to the Graduate Faculty of AddRan College of Liberal Arts Texas Christian University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy May 2009 Copyright by Tina Nicole Cannon 2009 Acknowledgments This dissertation could not have been written without the guidance and support of many people. My dissertation advisor, Dr. Gregg Cantrell, challenged and encouraged me throughout TCU’s Ph.D. program. Gregg devoted countless hours of his already busy life to reading, editing, and directing this dissertation. I am grateful for his patient counsel and his unrivaled enthusiasm for Texas history. Dr. Don Coerver, Dr. Mark Gilderhus, Dr. Susan Ramirez, and Dr. Kenneth Stevens served as dissertation committee members. I value Dr. Coerver’s vast knowledge of Texas border history and his meticulous nature. Dr. Gilderhus’s voracious appetite for the written word and his jovial personality made meetings with him an absolute joy. Dr. Ramirez has mastered the ability to extract the very best work from her students with grace, kindness, and encouragement. She serves as an invaluable model of behavior for a female academic in a male-dominated field. Dr. Stevens added his remarkable knowledge of Constitutional history to my dissertation committee. I appreciate his invaluable advice and his encouraging me to explore the impact of Supreme Court cases on Fort Worth. Much to my regret, a fellowship at Vanderbilt University prevented Dr.
