Salinas opens New Business in Crosbyton
Rosemary Salinas would like to welcome Crosby County residents to visit JB & AZ at 509 West
Main Street in Crosbyton. Rosemary describes the store as a "little bit of everything", featuring
jewelry, purses and boots. Rosemary and friends have played the part of the princess that
kissed a frog, turning an aging drive-in resteraunt into a small jewel box of a store. And
speaking of jewels, Rosemary now has purple t-shirts with a bejeweled baseball on the back for
Crosbyton sport's mom. She tries to keep her sport's t-shirts in several team colors. If you
thinking of a visit to JB & AZ, look for the jazzy leopard stripes and the smiling OPEN sign. JB &
AZ is open Tuesday through Friday from 10:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. Check it out. You won't be
disappointed.
Perry delivers State of State' address
AUSTIN — Texas is
stronger than ever, Gov. Rick
Perry said early in his 36-
minute “State of the State”
address to the 83rd Texas
Legislature on Jan. 29.
Perry praised lawmakers,
saying the line has been held
on taxes and the state is
spending within its means, de-
livering on his priorities, by
“making the tough decisions
separating wants from
needs.”
He called for an amend-
ment to the state constitution
“so when we do bring in more
than we need, we’ll have the
option of returning tax money
directly to the people who paid
it.” And he said employment
is robust, with nearly 1.4 mil-
lion low, medium and high-pay-
ing jobs added in the last two
years.
As for the environment,
Perry said that from 2000 to
2011, ozone levels decreased
by 23 percent and industrial
nitric oxide and nitrogen diox-
ide gas emissions were cut by
60 percent.
In a pushback statement
aimed at Washington, D.C.,
Perry said Texas would not
expand Medicaid under the
federal Affordable Care Act
and would not set up a state
health care exchange — part
of phased-in “Obama Care”
intended to aid citizens in find-
ing affordably priced health
insurance.
Education, Perry said, is
progressing, with graduation
rates at an all-time high, the
third highest in the nation.
Perry noted that some higher
education institutions are of-
fering the $10,000 four-year
degree program that he asked
for, and he spoke proudly of
increases in charter-school
enrollment, but he did not
mention the $5 billion stripped
two years ago from the pub-
lic education budget.
What to do with surplus
Even though state fi-
nances are off to a running
start in 2013 with better-than-
expected tax collections that
might allow the state to avoid
major funding cutbacks like
those adopted in 2011, there
