Son Of Lt. Governor To Stop
In Dublin On Campaign Tour
Paul W. Hobby, son of Lt. Gov. and
Mrs. Bill Hobby, will visit Erath County
on Wednesday, August 18, on a
comapign tour for his father.
Hobby, 21, said he plans to travel
across the state this summer and fall
campaigning for his father's re-
election bid. A recent graduate of the
University of Virginia, Hobby said that
Texas will need the experience and
leadership of Lieutenant Governor
Hobby to face the unparalledled
growth that is expected to continue
throughout the 1980s.
“The lieutenant governor sits at the
head of the budgeting process and
only his strong guidance can
guarantee fiscal responsibility in state
government," Hobby said. "That fiscal
responsibility, however, has not made
Bill Hobby unresponsive to the varied
needs within our state."
The younger Hobby said that
education and highway reforms
initiated by his father have readied
Texas for the chalfenge of the years
ahead. In addition, during his ten years
in office, Lieutenant Governor Hobby
has preserved and enhanced the
state's capacity to attract investment
that has spawned a rate of growth
unparalleled in the nation, he said
"Texas has maintained a fiscally
sound state goyernment throughout
the 1970s in spite of experiencing
some of the most explosive population
growth in the nation,” Hobby said.
“The fact is that growth of state
government has been kept within
reasonable bounds by Bill Hobby’s
affirmative policy of fiscal
responsibility."
With a background of experience in
newspaper and broadcast media, Paul
