SPECIAL TO THE BULLETIN
news@brownwoodbulletin.com
Dr. Mamie McCullough, Howard
Payne University alumna and native of
Dixie, Ga., was recently presented the
2014 HPU Woman’s Club Yellow Rose
Award. The honor was announced at
the Yellow Rose Scholarship Luncheon,
held each year on the HPU campus.
Dr. McCullough was the scheduled
guest speaker for the event, unaware of
the club’s plans to surprise her with the
prestigious honor. Her family joined
her as she accepted the award.
In addition to a career in education,
Dr. McCullough served as a director for
Mary Kay Cosmetics. She was named
Ms. Go Give in 1976, one of the highest
honors within the organization.
Dr. McCullough, who now resides in
Dallas, was president of the education
division for the Zig Ziglar Corpora-
tion from 1979 to 1989. In 1989, she
formed her own company working as a
speaker and author.
She has authored several books
including “I Can. You Can Tool,” “I’m
Not Waving ... I’m Drowning” and “Get
It Together And Remember Where You
Put It.”
Dr. McCullough has served on HPU’s
President’s Development Council and
the Board of Trustees. In 1997, the uni-
versity presented her with an Honorary
Doctor of Letters.
“We were thrilled to present this
honor to Mamie,” said Dr. Diana Ellis,
HPU first lady and president of the
Woman’s Club. “She is one of our HPU
treasures, and she publicly promotes
the university everywhere she goes!
What a blessing to have such a lovely
lady representing us to the world.”
The HPU Yellow Rose Award is
presented annually to a woman who
has exhibited exemplary leadership
within her sphere of influence, who has
exhibited fiscal, emotional or physi-
cal support to the ongoing of Howard
Payne University and who represents
Christian values and beliefs founda-
tional to Howard Payne University.

AUSTIN, Texas (AP) —
Texas on Lriday dropped
Xerox Corp. as its longtime
Medicaid claims processor
and sued the company to
recover hundreds of mil-
lions of dollars for dental
work the state says wasn’t
necessary.
Xerox responded in a
statement that the lawsuit
is misdirected and doesn’t
target dentists who took
advantage of the system.
TAX
CONTINUED FROM 1
“An increase in a
quarterly allocation is
even better news since it
reflects all the sales tax
collectors and not just
the monthly filers.”
Brownwood has seen an
increase in six out of the
eight months of the fiscal
year, and most were for
substantial amounts, Mid-
dleton said, while the two
months with decreases
were very small.

“Dentists were putting
braces on children who
clearly didn’t meet the Med-
icaid standard for that care,
and Xerox didn’t have the
processes in place to review
those cases before paying
them,” Texas Health and
Human Services Commis-
sioner Kyle Janek said.
Texas has used Xerox to
handle Medicaid processing
for the last decade, when
the state spent $1.1 billion
on orthodontic claims, ac-
cording to the lawsuit filed
in Austin. The suit doesn’t
specify how much of that
amount was allegedly
fraudulent.
Scrutiny over alleged
Medicaid dental fraud in
Texas has been mounting.
By 2010, the state’s Med-
icaid program for dental
and orthodontic work was
spending more on braces
than the other 49 states
“I believe this reflects
continued good health
and robust activity in re-
tail sales locally,” Middle-
ton said. “This may have
included a surge from
the pipeline workers that
were here temporarily,
but the increases we’ve
experienced are spread
fairly evenly throughout
this time period, so that
is probably a minor fac-
tor.
“Bottom line is that it
appears the Brownwood
economy continues to
perform well.”
Year-to-date, Brown-
wood has received $2.68
million, a 4.2 percent
increase over last year’s
$2.57 million.
Early’s growth slowed
from the monster in-
creases of the previous
two months. Early’s
allocation of $117,189
was 7.4 percent higher
than last May’s $109,084.
Year-to-date, Early has re-
ceived $486,594, an 11.7
percent increase over last
year’s $435,653.

cation of $15,584 was 9.9

combined, according to
federal auditors.
Medicaid only covers
work when the alignment
of the teeth is so bad that a
child has trouble eating or
breathing. The state says
Xerox didn’t properly review
requests for braces.
Xerox denied those
accusations and said the
company had implemented
a program designed by the
state.

May’s $14,177. Year-to-
date, Bangs has received
$56,474, a 7 percent
increase over last year’s
$52,757.
Blanket’s May allocation
of $1,449 was 44 percent
lower than last May’s

ket has received $10,357,
a 16.5 percent increase
over last year’s $8,900.
The total for all four
municipalities in May was
$771,943, a 6.2 percent
increase over last May’s
$726,541. Year-to-date,
the municipalities have
received a total of $3.23
million, a 5.3 percent
increase over last year’s
$3.07 million.
Texas Comptroller
Susan Combs said state
sales tax revenue in April
— also a reflection of
March sales — was $2.27
billion, up 5.6 percent
compared to April 2013.
“Growth in sales tax
revenue was spurred by
increases in the telecom-
munications sector and
services sector,” Combs
said. “Increased business
spending in the wholesale
trade sector also contrib-
uted to the latest monthly
gain.
“This marks 49 consecu-
tive months of growth in
sales tax collections.”
Combs will send cities,
counties, transit systems
and special purpose tax-
ing districts their May
local sales tax allocations
totaling $716 million, up
7.1 percent compared to
May 2013.
