“Critical,” from page 24 low-level nuclear waste dump in Sierra Blanca. “The information we’re receiving is that more than 2,000 will be bused in, mostly from Mexico,” Peace told the San Antonio Express-News. “It could get out of hand in a little county like this. There are only about 3,000 in the county… What is worse, is that they are going to litter our property, damage our property, and create a variety of community expenses that may total as much as $50,000.” The protest Peace referred to was part of a broad-based, bi-national opposition to locating the dump, which will receive nuclear waste from at least three states, in Sierra Blanca. The Texas National Resources Conservation Commission has issued a draft license for the waste site in the desert, ninety miles east of El Paso, and if a final permit is approved a dump could be in operation by 1997. MONEY’S BEST FRIEND. Poor Phil Gramm can’t get a break. After he complained to contributors that free media for Victor Morales was worth “$6.3 million” and he could hardly keep up, reporters began looking at Gramm’ s dollars and their origins. Writing in the Houston Chronicle not only is Phil hip-deep in moolah, much of it comes from corporate sources outside Texas. Of the $1.3 million Gramm has raised since January of 1995, “almost half has come from out-of-state corporate executives, investors and political action committees,” wrote Ratcliffe. \(Morales has raised a total of $182,000, mostly from porters may also find it illuminating to know that since 1991, the Senator has spent most of their money judiciously: “on activities to raise more money.” Horse Kitc hcn cttc Ca blc TV licatcd Pool hcAide arc Gir/forl/cAic0 oil Jhotang Island Ior privatc parties ‘,/hittc Enr0peoir Charm ,l/mo.sphere AFFORD A131,1-1 RA I Pets Welcome 1423 1 111 St feet ‘ii% Port Aransas.
