'Roundabout
...with Marie Whitehead
Bob Bullock is the candidate
to do the job and do it right!
When is a special not so special?
Savings CAN be measured in more
ways than money! Let me explain.
It was on a recent trip that I
found it necessary to stop and
make a small purchase. Stand-
ing at the check-out counter,
clutching my coins, the lady
stopped ringing up my buy and
asked, "Are you a senior citi-
zen?"
In retrospect, I think that at the
subconscious level my first reaction
was, "What business is it of yourB?"
but that question did not pop out.
Instead, I remember thinking, "she
probably will ask to see my AARP
card." Pulling myself back to the
present moment, unaccustomed to
dealing with such harsh realities, I
asked, "What does that have to do
with anything?"
The white-haired woman said
sweetly, "If you're over 62, we
offer a 10 per cent discountl"
Putting monetary value ahead
of self-esteem and ego, I gulped
hard and condescended to ac-
cept the gracioua, shopper's
special for Senior Citizens.
Clearly, the lady was pleased with
herself for having saved me a whole
ten cent , a dime, and I knew that I
should say or do something to show
gratitude for her service. But when
you feel like a balloon, hearing all of
the air hiss out, and you're
thi nki ng.. .there goes my facade.. .my
cover has been blown...no longer is
my secret my secret..,now, everyone
knows about all those birthdays!
What could I say? I mumbled, "thank
you," and hoped that was enough.
Tottering out on my Senior
Citizen SSA data, I tried to re-
construct the scene of the es-
teem injury and search for some-
thing salvageable. Racing away
from the place, miles down the
road, I wondered, what would
she say if I returned and made a
birth control purchase? I mean,
I'm just curious as to how Car she
would go in saving my money
for me.
What price ego? What price, in-
deed! Until next week? -mw
Bob Bullock, a man who has converted the state
comptroller's office from a liability to an asset to the
legislature and the business communtiy is seeking
a new job.
Bob Bullock, one of the most qualified persons in
Austin should be the next Texas Lieutenant Gov-
ernor. He is capable and qualified to fill the office.
He has a track record that is uncomparable to any
other.
Bullock's accomplishments as State Comptrol-
ler read like a textbook on good government.
Under his able leadership the state comptroller's
office is no longer a liability to the legislature but an
asset. Bullock has a long time reputation for solv-
ing state problems.
Since he took the state comptroller's office some
19 years ago, he has turned it into an efficient
business like operation.
Bullock has proven himself over and over as an
able administrator, as well as a strong leader.
He is no stranger to the legislature. He will be an
effective leader as presiding officer of the Texas
Senate. As comptroller, he has worked with the
legislature many, many times.
He knows his way around Austin. He began his
political career as state representative and then
served as Secretary of State under Gov. Preston
Smith. He has also served as an assistant attorney
general.
Bullock has brought in billions of dollars from out
of state corporations doing business in Texas
through his audit program that keeps track of sales
taxes paid by businesses doing business in the
state.
His competent oversight of the state's purse
strings has helped lawmakers keeps an eye on
state agencies and has kept them operating
smoothly, while avoiding the possibility of another
significant tax increase. He has developed ways to
reduce the cost of government, cut red tape, ex-
tend services, speed up sales tax rebates to cities
and reduce employee turnover.
He has written a workable school finance plan
that would meet federal court requirements. He
says state office holders should be required to
disclose their personal and business income tax
returns as evidence they are accurately reporting
their political finances. He says a line should be
drawn to determine what is acceptable and what is
unacceptable for those in public and political life.
Bob Bullock says the best days of Texas are still
ahead. He knows of nothing that Texans can't ac-
complish if we go about it right and do what is
needed. He says Texans need better education;
more jobs and better jobs; quality affordable health
care and decent, affordable homes. He claims
crime and drug abuse should be rooted out and the
causes resolved. Poverty and welfare should be
replaced with independence of useful opportuni-
ties and employment.
Bullock wants to establish goals for Texans, get
out of the courthouse and stop operating govern-
ment from crisis to crisis.
He wants to protect the environment.
We all know he has the experience to do the job
and do it right.
Let's give Bob Bullock the opportunity to fill the
office of Lieutenant Governor with hard work,
common sense, creativity and fairness to all.
We encourage you to vote Tuesday, Nov. 6 for
Bob Bullock for Texas Lieutenant Governor. You
certainly won't be sorry. He will do us all a great job!

Texas People Against Crime
Group endorses candidates
Rusty Hardin was in Rusk last
week as a representative of a politi-
cal action committee, Texas People
Against Crime in the committee's
campaign for five candidates for the
Texas Court of Criminal Appeals,
the state's highest criminal court.
An article in the Houston Post on
Sept. 6 by Tom Kennedy reported
that the preceding week a long-time
Harris County Assistant District
Attorney Rusty Hardin announced
his decision to resign to head the
political action committee.
"It is our strong belief that that
political-party affiliation should not
be a test for judicial qualifications.
We are endorsing both Democrats
and Republicans because we have
the very strong belief that justice is
not a Republican or Democratic is-
sue," Hardin says.
He is campaigning on the belief
that judicial qualifications are not a
matter of party, age or ethnic back-
ground.
Hardin, 48, says the public is not
really we'l versed about the Court of
Criminal Appeals.
Texas voters will elect five judges
in the November 8 election. He says
the TPAC intends to expose the judi-
cial records for all to i
"Marvin Teague and Sam Hous-
ton Clinton, two current justices,
have voted to reverse many more
cases than other members of the
court," he says.
Hardin says this is because the
two spent many years on the side
of the defendant before they be-
came judges.
i Some 25 attorneys have been re-
cruited to research records of the
appeals court justices since 1981.
The study showed Teague reversed
trial courts 68 percent of the time
over that period. Clinton up for re-
election went for the defendant 64
percent of the times.
Hardin and TPAC are support-
ing Waller County trial judge and
former District Attorney, Oliver
Kitzman, a Republican over Clin-
ton. Hardin and his group want to
return incumbent Justices Bill M.
White, a Democrat and David A.
Berchelman, a Republican, along
with recently appointed justice
Louis Stums, a Republican—the
court'* first appointed black mem-
ber.
