Bush -vowed before newspaper jexecutives Monday he's taking 4he high-road in his campaign igainst incumbent Texas Gov.

eAnn Richards. "My mission is to keep the debate at a level where we talk the future of our state, not focus on all kinds of silly stuff and one-liners and try to tear leach other apart," Bush said --during a breakfast speech at the 73rd annual meeting of the Texas IDaily Newspaper Association, a Istatewide trade group. He then criticized the settlement of the Ruiz prison lawsuit which he said left state prisons under federal control and denounced mandatory supervised release from prison of some IIVUIHI IIIVOW icoDvicted of sex offenses. However, Richards assured her listeners, she's not to blame for thp early release of inmates walking free within the state. That's the work of predecessor, GOP Gov.

Bill Clements, who said repeatedly invoked the Prison Management Act to relieve crowded prisons. iShe said she has stopped early Ipdroles, took credit for an arhbitious prison construction program that will add 39,000 beds this year and deflected criticism about the Ruiz settlement. "It saved us a tremendous amount of said. "Suddenly no one seems to remember that." She conceded the backlog of state prison inmates in county jails has created problems in the county lockups but said the decision was easy, "If I'm going to choose crowded county jails or letting but violent criminals, I'll choose crowded county jails," she said Un education, Bush called tor MARSHALL, CINEMA in present!

Marshall a better focus ion goals. "We've got something like 51 different goals in education right now, which means we have no goals," he said. "And when you have no you have no accountability." "If we can't educate our kids, we really are not functioning well. We do it backwards in our state. We fund our schools locally and we govern centrally.

It's not working. We're mediocre. I say reverse it." Richards, however, said she knew when she took office the immediate focus needed to be on school financing. "We so far have succeeded," she said. "It is not perfect, but it's the best we could get." She pointed to a reduction of the school dropout rate and rise of test scores as art indication her programs were working.

"Everyone in this room knows there's no quick fix," she told the some ISO publishers and editors. Richards, during a luncheon address, also talked about the future of Texas, saying improvements in the state's economy achieved during her administration would help iron out many of the other problems. "We have a vision, a renewed sense of optimism that was lacking," she said. "There's a hell of a lot of excitement in this part of the country. There's a sense of belief in our ability and a new sense of pride." Bush said his campaign would concentration how to make streets safe and how to improve education.

Richards said the questions of crime and education "have been with us since the days of the Republic." "There probably will never be a time when they are not on the agenda," she said. She received a standing ovation following her speech. Bush did not. hypocritical for saying he wants to focus on issues "then dredging up something with insinuations that are totally untrue." Ms. Christopher said that while Mattox did participate in some real estate business with Faulkner, "He lost more money than he made As far as Danny Faulkner's situation, Jim was nVer even interviewed by one single (savings and loan) regulator." Most of the challenges to Faulkner's conviction were rejected last week by the 5th U.S.

Circuit Court of Appeals in New Orleans. Faulkner was sentenced to prison in 1992 in deals that involved an artificial boom in condominium developments along Interstate 30 east of Dallas. It was funded by millions in loans from savings and loans in Texas and Arkansas. Five failed, requiring taxpayer bailouts totaling $165 million. WMMra II -TCXIS-r.
