  1996; he attended South Texas Community College and The University
  of Texas--Pan American, where he earned a bachelor's degree in

  rigs and construction sites, and he went on to work for three years
  with the migrant program at McAllen Independent School District and
  for one year as a substitute teacher at La Joya ISD; and
         WHEREAS, An abiding interest in politics brought Mr. Salinas
  to Austin and to the early voting section of the Travis County Clerk
  Elections Division, where he trained poll workers and managed the
  day-to-day operations of the office; and
         WHEREAS, Before beginning his employment with TAB, he had a
  notable tenure as a legislative aide; he worked for State
