If I violated the faw I will face the Moreno said part of the subtle pressure was the spreading of rumors that he might be indicted The eleectkm code prohibits one candidate for public office from making contributions to another candidate Moreno said the question would be whether he was a candidate at the time and whether the other House member was a candidate On the impeachment proceedings Moreno conceded that ft will stir opposition to his candidacy for the Senate think we should be playing games with something like he told a press conference know there is going to be some kind of backlash Because now what is going to happen in my district and I am running for office the Senate I am going to have the Smith supporters and the Barnes Supporters really after me Now I realize that

thus by the citizens of El Paso being exchanged or swapped for property of equal acreage with a possible value of less than $100000 owned by certain private individuals The failure of the Mayor- and Council to obtain adequate appraisals and follow other proper and required procedures before the exchange took -i place when coupled with the obvious great disparity of the values of the property involved make it imperative that the transaction be rescinded and the parties restored to their former positions The public interest demands that this be done view of the statements of the Mayor calling for a new earnings tax following the recent pay raise referendum and the current efforts to find new revenues it is certainly incumbent upon the Mayor and Council to take the necessary action to cancel this land deal and thus save for the citizens of El Paso a sum so large that it could make an increase in taxes unnecessary at this time No amount of ex post facto maneuvering short of recission can correct this error ig judgment In behalf of all the citizens of El Paso I now call upon 1 the City Council for redress of this grievous DO YOU KNOW?
