pay for its construction, he asked.
When asked how he thought EPEC, which has a $200,000
net worth, will finance its Palo Verde project investment over
the next six years, Briscoe answered that he referred the issue
to the PUC for study. And although he opposes forcing
consumers to pay current construction costs, the Southeast
Texas oil and cattleman warns “when the (nuclear) power
plant comes on line consumers can expect a great rate
increase.”

NATIONAL COLLEGIATE
INDOOR TRACK

Major Staff Writer
Commenting on the Public Utilities Commission’s (PUC)
recent ruling granting El Paso Electric Company (EPEC)
a controversial $7.00 customer charge and its subsequent
reversal, Gov. Dolph Briscoe brought his gubernatorial
campaign back to El Paso March 16.
Calling the PUC’s original ruling “a very serious mistake”
the incumbant governor complimented El Paso Mayor Ray
Salazar’s “excellent job showing the PUC made an obvious
mistake” in its original ruling late last year.
The governor contends the PUC, with the exception of the
recent EPEC ruling, has served competently. At least, he
adds, no other “mistakes have been brought to my
attention.” However, the Uvalde native outlined several
proposals to make the commission a “more effective body.”
The PUC should conduct split hearings, he suggests. During
the first hearing, Briscoe says only rate increases should be
discussed. Rate structures should be examined at the second.
This would avoid future PUC “mistakes” he contends, such
as the $7 pass-through customer charge granted originally.
Other changes the candidate wishes the commission to
adopt are earlier PUC staff report release dates.
Since the PUC did not release its report until the hearing
day, Briscoe says the EPC rate-hike opponents, including
Salazar, had no time to study the 200 to 300 page document.
And without a thorough knowledge of the proposals rebuttal
is difficult.
The two-term governor also called EPEC’s proposed
consumer financing of the Palo Verde nuclear generating
plant construction “unfair.” Paying for work in progress, he
says, is inequitable, especially for senior citizens. Why should
persons who will not benefit from the Arizona power plant

Addressing other issues, the governor who traditionally
opposes state personal and corporate income taxes, said West
Texas unemployment is of serious concern and criticized the
Border Cities Commission, for “moving too slow” in that
direction. Four states-Arizona, California, New Mexico and
Texas-comprise the commission.
Calling the border unemployment problem “international
in scope” Briscoe also criticized federal agencies for blocking
a Border Cities Commission plan to establish a natural rubber
project. The state industrial commission, which studies and
makes recommendations concerning high unemployment
pockets, the gubernatorial candidate contends, “cannot
allow a federal agency” such as the Air Quality Control
Board and the Environmental Protection Agency to block
employment programs.
The governor also explained his veto of a bill that v . id
have removed automobile insurance penalties for speed lir t
violations. Calling the bill “subterfuge against enforcement of
law,” he also maintains his veto was “necessary to protect”
federal highway funding.
However, Briscoe also called the present 55-mph limit
uneconomical and advocated a higher speed
limit-“perhaps 60 mph.”
