offs

tional ideas Instead of raising the
basket, where he has served admirably
for years, I think we ought to leave it
where it is and lower the floor."
The third candidate said: "1 don’t care
where the basket is, so long as every kid
in the nation has a free basketball."
Candidates then began calling each
other names and complaining about the
others’ television ads
About that time I woke up. I never did
find out where the basket wound up or
what the candidates were running for It
was either fbr President or Senator or
Justice of the Peace. These days, it's
hard to tell which
newspapers for any chagnes that may
take place
It is very important that we all register
to vote. Our nation runs on what you the
voter says when you vote If you have not
yet registered to vote, then please get a
card and fill it out andmail it in. It does
not cost money and it reflects on how our
government is run. If yo do notknow
where to get this card I am sure that if
you call or come over to the Chamber of
Commerce or aske the places where you
shop, they will help you get one Once
again, I am happy that we had so many
people turn out to vote
A key element in the Coming months as
City Hall gets down to business as usual
in running the day to day affairs like
streets, water, sewer and garbage will be
adhering strictly to the City Charter.
With a home rule Charter, adopted by
the people of Ingleside, the local City
government works within the limits of a
City manager/City Council form of
government
Keeping that in mind, let’s give the ‘C
Team’ and the entire City Council the
Chance to make Ingleside a better place
to live.
Thank you

The elections are over!
Now that Ingleside has slid through one
of the most Colorful, vocal, and in-
teresting political races in it’s Chartered
history, let’s get down to brass tacks and
the bottom line
The big stick that beat the most bushes
to get out the vote this month was pro-
bably the streets and taxes issue
We've got a new mayor and the Color
of the City Council has Changed it’s hue
The democratic process at the grassroots
level.
But the reality of our problems hasn't
been solved And it won't be overnight
How do we pave our streets? The ones
Today I feel very proud of the people
who live and work in our city. We have
had something happen here athat I didn’t
think would take place for a long time.
That is a large voter turnout. In the past I
hoped that we would have a large turnout
at the polls, but it ended up small.
Sometimes so small it scared me. But
now 1 see that you really do care and you
proved it by going down to the polls and
placing your vote the way you feel. I hope
that next time we have more people in-
terested and they go vote also. Very
shortly we will hae some more elections

that have been dust bowls for some 20
years now? The ones that have never
been paved since Ingleside was platted in
the past chapters of Texas history? The
substandard ones that were considered
OK in days gone by?
Let’s look for new answers to the ques-
tions Citizen involvement, like we’ve
witnessed in the past six months, must
Continue. Active participation in Civic
affairs, especially where City govern-
ment is Concerned is necessary.
The ‘C Team’ must deliver its pro-
mises in the coming two years The peo-
ple will demand it. Or else in two years
they will speak again at the polls.

Land Office
A federal agency last
week gave the go-ahead to
the Texas General Land
Office request to sell na-
tural gas from state lands
at current market value as
payment-in-kind.
The ruling allows the
Land Office to sell the gas
to utilities below what pri-
vate companies are offer-
ing. The sales revenues go
to the Permanent School
Fund, which is divided
among Texas public school
districts.
Texas Land Commis-
sioner Garry Mauro an-
nounced the state earned
an additional $17.5 million
at a mineral production
lease sale last week. New
policies resulted in almost
doubling the average bon-
us bid for lease of state-
owned oil and gas lands.
The average bid was
$216.49, almost twice the
$120.40 per-acre bonus
average for October.

Editor’s note: The Live Oak
Philosopher on his mangrove farm near
old Ingleside reports on an odd dream he
had recently.
Dear Editor:
A few weeks back, due to basketball
games and political debates filling the
airways, I had an odd dream.
I dreamed I was watching three can-
didates debate a proposal to to change
the height of the basket on basketball
courts. The TV network considered it an
issue of national concern
The moderator explained it this way ;

agility, has now become a game of
height. The taller your players, the bet

AUSTIN — When the
news broke last week that
Texas House Speaker Gib
Lewis had written state
agencies to prepare for
“no-growth,” the ripples
spread fast and wide
around the Capitol com-
plex.
It quickly increased the
stakes and the number of
players in the state gov-
ernment budget game.
The shock was enough
to prompt Gov. Mark
White, who advocates rais-
ing taxes to increase teach-
er salaries, to attempt to
soothe political nerves by
offering assurances that
state government will sur-
vive the financially trou-
bled period and still find
ways to take care of ex-
pensive improvements in
education and highways.
Lewis’ letter arrived at
state agency head offices
at a time when they are
preparing their budget
proposals for the Legisla-
tive Budget Board and the
Legislature, which meets
again in nine months.
Specifically, Speaker
Lewis recommended state
White Blamed
The chairman of the
Texas Republican Party,
George Strake, didn’t miss
his cue to blame the gov-
ernor and Democratic-
dominated Legislature for
the money problems.
“If Governor White had
set the example of being a
bit more restrained with
such items as his new
playroom and had not in-
creased his political ap-
pointee payroll by 70 per-
cent, maybe state officials
would now be more ag-
gressive in cutting exces-
sive state government
spending,” Strake said.
Strake, speaking for the
Republicans, praised the
call for no-growth budget,
and suggested limiting the
number of state employees
by a formula based on
population.
Party Spat?
The budget letter under-
scored the odds stacking
up on the governor's
promised special session in
coming months to discuss
a $2.5 billion education
reform package. While the
tight-money situation cer-
tainly emphasizes the need
for more revenue, it puts
legislators in the politically
uncomfortable position of
approving a tax increase
before an election.
Also in a touchy posi-
tion are the agency heads,
including the statewide-
elected Democrats who
Taxes or Cots?
The letter puts state
agencies very close to a
rock-and-a-hard-place po-
sition. Unless the Comp-
troller can scrape up the
extra cash for them to
spend, legislators will be
debating whether to raise
taxes or cut state services.
A co-author of the let-
ter, House Appropriations
Chairman Jim Rudd, said
he is shaping a budget for
the bare necessities of state
government and will be
taking a “very critical
look” at all agencies.
“We’re not going to
have enough money.
We're going to be in the
red the next time if we

there aren’t enough in the entire world to
satisfy more than half a dozen teams.
You'll recall that the two college teams
that made it to the national play-off each
had a 7-foot player. Teams with 6-footers
and less fell by the wayside.
Therefore, it has been suggested by
some of the leading university scholars
that to make the game fair to all size
boys, the baskets in all gyms everywhere
should be raised from the present 10 feet
to 15.
This would eliminate slam-dunking
and return the game to skilled shooting
The moderator then called for debate
The first candidate said: "I think it's a
fresh new idea and I’m for fresh new
ideas Let's raise the basket."
The second candidate said: "There’s
still something to be said for sound, tradi-
agencies prepare a
growth budget for
1986-87 biennium.
“We suggest that you
not include any considera-
tions for inflation, salary
changes or growth,” he
wrote.
The letter comes on the
heels of Comptroller Bob
Bullock's estimate that the
surplus at the end of the
present biennium will be
only $15 million.
