Se. 2”
by John Hill
Attorney General
One of the accomplish-
ments about which our
State Legislature could
boast at the end of its 1973
session was the passage of a
really meaningful Consum-
er Protection Act.
The Attorney General’s
staff is pretty proud of that
achievement, too, because
we worked side by side with
the Texas Consumer Asso-
ciation and the Texas Retail
Federation for four long
months to help the sponsors
pass that bill.
I believe that -the con-
sumer law my office had
hd to enforce before the
bill became effective Mav
21 (when Governor Dolph
Brisco signed it into law),
was woefully inadequate I
felt that the State was
giving only lip service to
consumer protection until a
firm law, with penalties
strong enough for a violator
to feel, was substituted for
the old law.
Now, people are asking
Use of federal
revenue funds
is planned
Judge W.G. Proctor has
announced that Collin
County plans to spend the
expected $122,176 in general
revenue sharing funds allo-
cated for the first six
months of 1973 on the
following items: Capitol
Expenditures, Public Tran-
sportation—$80,000 and En-
vironmental Conservation
$42,167.
J Records documenting the
plan are open to public
inspection at the Auditor’s
Qffice, County Courthouse,
McKinney. Publication of
such a plan, in addition to a
subsequent actual use of
funds report, is required by
the State and Local Fiscal
Assistance Act of 1972,
which authorized revenue
sharing.
Judge Proctor stated that
the effect of revenue
sharing on local taxes will
be to prevent increase in
the rate of a major tax.
.General revenue sharing
is a $30.2 billion, five year
program which returns a
portion of federal taxes to
state and local govern-
ments.
