Texas Monthly praises Caperton
United Press International
AUSTIN — Texas Monthly
magazine has revealed its lists of
the state’s 10 best and 10 worst
legislators, ranging from
“talented, independent and
fearless” members to those
deemed “inept.”
TM’s biennial roster — which
takes into account lawmaker,
lobbyist and journalist opinions
on performances in the 1983
Texas Legislature — was re
leased Thursday and rated
House and Senate members “on
the basis of personality, not
ideology.”
Legislators who make the
best list usually publicize the fact
extensively in campaign litera
ture while those termed worst
try to quash the rating quietly.
Included in the list of best
legislators were Sens. Kent
Caperton, D-Bryan; Ray
Larabee, D-Wichita Falls; and
Bob McFarland, R-Arlington;
and Reps. Bill Goody, D-
Weatherford; Jay Gibson, D-
Odessa; Gerald Hill, D-Austin;
Lee Jackson, R-Dallas; Ray Kel
ler, R-Duncanville; Bill Messer,
D-Belton; and Steve Wolens, D-
Dallas.
Texas Monthly’s choices for
worst lawmakers were Senators
Glenn Kothmann and Bob Vale,
both D-San Antonio; and Reps.
A1 Edwards, D-Houston; Frank
Eikenburg, R-Plano; Bill Hol-
lowell, D-Grand Saline; Sam
Hudson, D-Dallas; Jan McKen
na, R-Arlington; Randy Pen
nington, R-Houston; Carlyle
Smith, D-Grand Prairie; and
Mark Stiles, D-Beaumont. Dub
bed “flop of the year” was fresh
man Sen. Craig Washington, D-
Houston, who was described as
“brilliant two years ago in the
House but a bust in the Senate.”
The article also included a list
of “furniture” — members who
“by virtue of their indifference
or ineffectiveness were indis
tinguishable from their desks,
chairs and spittoons.”
Sen. Bill Sarpalius, D-
Amarillo, was named Rookie of
the Year despite the fact that he
was in his second term. “He only
acts like a freshman,” the article
said of Sarpalius, who spon
sored a package of tough drunk
en driving laws
Among the best, Caperton
was described as “a brilliant for
ger of coalitions,” Goody as the
lawmaker “who did more good
for Texas than any other mem
ber,” Larabee as “the most re
spected member” and Gibson as
a man who “worked hard,
fought clean, and was right.”
“The best thing about Gerald
Hill,” the article said of another
best list-maker, “is that the
House isn’t likely to turn into a
snake pit as long as he’s around.”
Jackson was called “a stan
dard reference point for what is
right,” Keller was applauded for
helping steer several prison re
form measures smoothly
through the House and McFar
lands was described as “the Sen
ate’s handyman who can fix any
thing.”
On the worst list, Edwards
was assailed for his flip-flop
stance on a parimutuel betting
bill, Eikenburg was criticized for
being “a snit-throwing disturber
of the legislative peace (who has)
a bush-league mean streak” and
Hollowell was “blustery, paroc
hial, obstreperous and unin
formed.”

promoters as a “creative play
ground” where children learn
while playing videogames.
George Dipp, president of
the proposed new park, said the
facility will include 100 build
ings, 28 attractions and will be
open 311 days a year, closing
only during spring sandstorms.
Dipp said the railroad will be
a major attraction at the park. It
will be built along a 14-foot-high
ledge which will encircle the
park, isolating the facility.
“People can forget the note is
due on the car. The park will
provide an escape for the entire
family,” Dipp said.
A 400-foot “Texas Street” will
feature turn-of-the-century re
tail shops, restaurants and game
rooms. A horse-drawn trolley
car will carry park visitors
through the attractions, Dipp
said.
