Elect a New Lawyer
to Clean Up the
Mess In Austin
The attorney general is our chief lawyer and investigator. As attorney
general, John Hill will move on his own initiative to investigate corruption
in government. He’ll be your watchdog for honest government in Austin.
jx John Hill will aid law enforcement personnel in their fight against crime,
particularly organized crime, by establishing a Crime Strike Force in the
attorney general’s office.
John Hill will personally represent the interests of the people of Texas in the
courtroom prosecuting pollution law violators.
John Hill will actively prosecute “tax dodgers” who collect your sales tax
pennies and then pocket them. We are losing millions of dollars a year
because of weak enforcement.
^ John Hill will set up a constitutional law division, made up of lawyers
specially trained in constitutional law, to work with the legislature to stop
the passage of unconstitutional laws at tremendous expense to the public.
John Hill will personally go into court on behalf of the Texas consumers
to protect us from false, misleading and deceptive business practices.
John Hill will offer leadership for reform in the administration of justice in
Texas. Speedy trials will be his primary objective.
