John Hill is calling this the homestretch
of his campaign and in this final
stretch, he would like to secure as much
support in Dallas County as he possibly
can hope the day he announced the names
of those in his new Dallas County
executive support committee.
They're also at this news conference.
He'll say he regrets the loss of KTP
Haymer, the Cattlemen's Association, to
Bill Clements, but that Mr. Haymer
obviously misunderstands his so-called
liberal views on certain subjects.
Later, he went on to discuss inflation.
I think, saying as governor, he would
attack it on two important fronts,
one, and on budget management
at the state government level.
And the other is in leading this nation
to produce a workable energy
policy that will impact
our balance
of payments problem abroad.
That will be fair to our consumers
in Texas as compared to out of staters
where we're getting the short end of the
stick on prices.
And we'll generally do a good
job of trying to
beat down high utility rates
and at the same time give us fair
prices of production oriented economy
in terms of energy.
And I think we can do that.
And I think taxes ought to play
a very important part in trying
to develop that kind of energy
plan for this country.
He'll then went on to attack Bill
Clements and his plan for a taxpayers
bill of rights, his bill of Rights.
So is is really
pretty much just warmed
over rehash of points about
which there's very little disagreement
they way to put forward at the regular
the special session.
Are they up there?
Matters about which there's no
substantial disagreement like
initiative and referendum, trying
to incorporate some type of limitation
on state spending.
