'Caravan for Ann' brings message to county voters
LIVINGSTON -- Supporters for
Governor Ann Richards made a
campaign slop here Tuesday as pan
of their 15-city tour through East
Texas. The "Caravan for Ann”
carried Cecile Richards, the gover-
nor’s daughter, along with Murphy
George, Texas Department of
Commerce Policy Board, and other
state officials supporting the gover-
nor.
Several Caravans for Ann will be
traveling across the state to inform
the voters about the governor’s
record on behalf of the state.
"When Ann Richards became
Governor, she inherited a mess,"
said George. "The courts were in
our schools and our prisons and the
economy was bleak. Governor
Richards has worked hard to turn
Texas around and her record proves
it"
Under Governor Richards
leadership, Texas has the most
robust economy in the nation, he
said. Since 1990. Texas has led the
nation in job creation. "Students in
schools are doing better than ever.
Twice as many criminals are be-
hind bars today than in 1990.
"George W. Bush has run a cam-
paign on misrepresentations and
distortions. Here arc the facts of
Governor Richards record that Mr.
Bush leaves out" George cited the
following statistics:
• Texas ended its budget year
with a S2.2 billion dollar budget
surplus.
• The budget surplus is a result
of a robust economy and a decline
in government spending combined
with successful cost-cutting
measures.
• In November of 1993, the
legislature passed and the public
adopted a constitutional amend-
ment requiring a vote of the people
before adopting an income tax.
• Texas has created more jobs
than any other state in the nation -
225,000 jobs were created last year.
• Texas has lead the nation in job
creation for the past three years in a
row.
• Since 1991, more than 580,000
private sector jobs have been
created in Texas.
• In July, 7.7 million Texans,
were on the job. In January 1991,
there were 7.1 million Texans
working.

Supporters for the governor
called George W. Bush the "gloom
and doom" candidate. They noted
that Bush touts his business ex-
perience as his qualification for
running for governor. According to
the Dallas Morning News, "Mr.
Bush cites his business acumen as
the best indicator of what kind of
governor he would be." (Dallas
Morning News, 9/11/94). Public
documents have revealed that every
company that Bush was involved
with lost money, George said, cit-
ing the following examples:
1. Caterair International lost
S285 million
2. Harken Energy lost S64.9 mil-
lion
3. Tom Brown. Inc. lost S18 6
million
4. Arbusto Energy. Inc./ Bush
Exploration Co. lost $3.1 million
5. Spectrum 7 Exploration Ox
faced foreclosure
"The bottom line - company
losses total of S371.6 million.
George W. Bush continued to make
money while these companies kta
money," he said.
"Mr. Bush also has touted his
ownership of the Texas Rangers. In
fact, he only owns 1.8 percent of
the Rangers.
"George W. Bush says his busi-
ness record shows what kind of
leader he would be,’ said George.
"I ask you: Can Texas afford the
experience of George W. Bush?"

Of course, the Invisa hearing
aid is not appropriate for every-
one. The benefits of hearing aids
vary by type and degree of
hearing loss, noise environment,
accuracy of hearing evaluation
and proper fit. That’s why we
feel that a personal evaluation
is necessary to determine if
the Invisa is right for you.
