Pets of the Week
This week at the Edna City Pound we have a batch of pup-
pies and a found dog. The dog on the left was found on
CR 283 in Morales. Anyone with information regarding
the owner should contact Robert at 235-1292. The puppy
on the left is just one of eight that are at the pound and
waiting to be adopted. There are seven females and one
male and are all about 3 months old. They appear to be a
mixture of lab and German shepherd. Call the pound to be
their new best friend. Also at the pound this week is a 3-
month-old male brown and white lab mix; two 5-month-
old female cur/lab mixes, and a 9-month-old schnau-
zer/terrier mix. Call 235-1292 or 782-8417 for informa-
tion or to adopt a dog from the pound.
May cut budget
many years. It also helps that
we are not over-staffed or

A budget workshop was
scheduled for March 28 to
work on potential cuts in the
budget.

Sales tax revenue is good
news for county, cities
various reasons, including
driving and pedestrian
offenses, suspicious activity
or a welfare inquiry. This
was 416 less than 2009.
Of the 969 stops, 369
were Caucasian, 350 were
Hispanic and 242 were
African American. Contact
was also made with two
individuals of Middle
Eastern descent and 8
Asians.
“In the past, The Edna
Police Department reported
total contacts, both traffic
and pedestrian, and whether
the contact was a local resi-
dent,” Clinton Wooldridge,
police chief states in the
report. “The new reporting
requirements only require
that traffic citations and
arrest data be kept.
“They also require infor-
mation on whether or not
the race of the driver was
known and the nature of any
search that was made. These
numbers do not fully char-
acterize the activity of a
police agency in regards to
racial profiling.”
Ganado police officers
stopped 353 individuals in
2010, according to Police
Chief Rodney Roberson. Of
that number, 133 were
Caucasian, 21 were African
American, 183 were
Hispanic, 11 were Asian and
5 Middle Eastern. This is 93
fewer stops than in 2009.
Deputies for the Jackson
County Sheriff’s Office
make traffic stops all around
Jackson County. They made
contact with 2,051 individu-
als in 2010. Of that amount,
983 were Caucasian, 922
Hispanic, 109 African
American, 23 Asian and 14
Middle Eastern. In 2009
deputies made 629 more
stops than in 2010.
In his summary statement,
Sheriff Andy Louderback
said the findings suggest the
sheriff’s office does not cur-
rently experience a problem
regarding racial profiling
practices.
No complaints from com-
munity members regarding
officers’ misconduct associ-
ated with racial profiling
practices were received
from any of the Jackson
County or city law enforce-
ment agencies.

Sales tax revenue was up
for the City of Edna, City of
Ganado and Jackson County
in February, which is good
news for local governments
who have been feeling the
economic pinch.
Across the state the num-
bers were also optimistic.
Texas Comptroller Susan
Combs said the state’s sales
tax revenue in February was
$1.75 billion, an increase of
9.7 percent compared to
February 2010.
“This is the 11th straight
month that sales tax revenue
has increased,” said Combs.
“Much like in recent months,
there were increases across all
major sectors including oil
and gas activity, manufactur-
ing and retail trade. We will
continue to monitor current
economic conditions and
gauge the effects on consumer
and business spending.”
