COUNTY AGENT'S REPORT
by Duery Menzies
SPECIAL REPORT—The Gillespie County 4-H Live-,
stock Judging Team took First Place at the An-
gelo State University Livestock Judging Con-
test on Saturday, March 31 in San Angelo. An-
gelo State University sponsored a 4-H and FFA
Judging contest with 4 cattle classes, 3
swine classes and two sheep classes. In addi-
tion, the 4-H teams were required to talk 3
sets of oral reasons, one ‘set on each species.
The oral reasons scores were added to the
placing scores for a total score.
The Gillespie County team consisting of Kevin
Kuhlmann, Brad Roeder, Shane Meier and Dusty
Menzies were High Team in Beef Cattle, Swine
and Sheep in addition to being High Team over-
all. Individually, Shane Meier was High In-
dividual with a score of 533, Dusty Menzies
was Second High Individual with a score of
526 and Kevin Kuhlmann was Third High Indivi-
dual with a score of 525. Lydell Meier also
judged in the contest.
HILDERBRAN/GIBSON FILE BILL
"No matter whose fault it is; my fault,
your fault, the Legislature’s, the
courts or the Governor’s fault—it
doesn't really matter. We must make
every effort possible to prevent the
closing of our schools on May 1, should
the diverse interests involved in the
school finance issue fail to reach an
agreement," Representative Harvey Hil-
derbran said during a press conference.
"The Legislature is faced with a May 1st
deadline to comply with the Texas Su-
preme Court's ruling on School Finance.
The House Bill 102, which Representa-
tive Gibson and I introduced lasf Fri-
day, would accelerate state aid payments
to public schools for May, June, July
and August. State aid payments are nor-
mally made on the 25th of each month.
Under House Bill 102, state aid pay-
ments for the remainder of the current
school year would be made on April 28th.
However, sufficient funds may only be
available for the first of these pay-
ments. Administrators and teacher or-
ganizations have warned that many local
schools will close their doors on May
1st. The Governor, Legislators, educa-
tors and judges should all agree that
this would be the worst thing that
could happen to our educational system,"
Representative Hilderbran said.
"The objective of the Supreme Court’s
order—to require the legislature to
meet in special session to equalize
school funding—has been achieved.
House Bill 102 is a 'Failsafe Mechanism'
which will allow public schools to fin-
ish the current school year and enable
the legislature and governor to continue
their efforts toward resolution of the
impasse on school finance. It may not
be possible for state government to
correct 60 years of educational in-
equity in 60 days," Representative
Gibson said. ^____
