    P o s i t ion i ng Wom e n to Wi n New Strategies for Turning Gender Stereotypes Into Competitive Advantages The Barbara Lee Family Foundation “Running my gubernatorial race was very different than running my previous race, and the Governor’s Guidebook series played an integral role in answering the questions I didn’t even know to ask. I will certainly rely on Positioning Women to Win to guide me through the challenging issues that arise during my campaign for re-election.” – Governor Christine Gregoire “Winning an election can never be taken for granted. The Governors Guidebook series arms both incumbents and first- time challengers with the “do’s” and “don’ts” of effectively communicating your achievements and vision.

    GREG ABBOTT March 19,2007 The Honorable Susan Combs Opinion No. GA-053 1 Texas Comptroller of Public Accounts Post Office Box 13528 Re: Application of section 103.001(b) of the Austin, Texas 7871 1-3528 Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code to a claim filed by one of the Tulia defendants (RQ-0523-GA) Dear Comptroller Combs: Your predecessor in office requested an opinion on the interpretation of Texas Civil Practice and Remedies Code, section 103.OO 1(b).' Chapter 103 of the Civil Practice and Remedies Code provides for compensation to persons who have been wrongfully imprisoned. See TEX.CIV. PRAC. & REM. CODE ANN. ch. 103 (Vernon 2005). Claims for compensation are filed with the Comptroller's judiciary section. See id. 5 103.051 (a). Section 103.001(a) states the criteria for entitlement to compensation for wrongful imprisonment while section 103.001(b) provides the following restriction on entitlement to compensation under section 103.OO 1(a): (b) A person is not entitled to compensation under Subsection (a) for any part of a sentence in prison during which the person was also serving a concurrent sentence for another crime to which Subsection (a) does not apply. Id. 5 103.001 The question about section 103.OO 1(b) arose in connection with a wrongful imprisonment compensation claim filed by a Tulia defendant. The request letter recited the well-publicized facts of the Tulia prosecutions: In July 1999, 46 individuals, nearly all African Americans, were arrested in Tulia by a local drug task force and charged with the sale of small amounts of cocaine.

So I had best make one thing clear. I am going to recount events differently than you may remember them. I will reach into the stream of memory and pull out this or that pebble that has been cast there by my fate. The pebbles when cast may have had jagged edges, now worn away by the stream. So I tell it as memory permits, and maybe not entirely as it was. This could be called lying, but more charitably it is simply what life gives to each of us as our memories of events are shaped in ways that give us smiles and help us to go on. I do not have transcripts of all the cases in the book, so I recall them as well as I can.
