Before an office funded by the LSC was opened in Hereford. TX. in the late 1970s. hereford was a developing agricultural community. Businesses considered the town to be a prime spot for their new enterprises. Now. in addition to the problems generally plaguing agriculture. life in Hereford is characterized by ethnic division and social and economic upheaval. Allegations against the LSCfunded office abound. with the most frequent being class action lawsuits. union organizing efforts. representation of illegal aliens and political activities. The cruel irony of this situation is that the hardship brought on Hereford. TX. has been funded with the residents own tax dollars.
