The House on Saturday approved
an $869.2 million temporary tax

cuts. The tax hike, however, does
not go into effect until Jan. 1.

The House approved the bill 83-

Lewis said he might try to have the
vote reconsidered today if he can

SAN ANTONIO (AP) — Gov.
Mark White and former Gov. Bill
Clements, stumping for support
from educators, blasted each other
Monday for not doing enough for
public education.
Addressing a convention of Texas
school boards and administrators,
White and Clements each took credit
for implementing legislative mea
sures to deal with teacher pay in
creases, student discipline and local
control of school districts.
Clements, speaking first to the
crowd of about 2,100, said that the
education reform bill passed in 1984
needs work, especially in the area of
the controversial “no-pass, no-play”
rule.
“It’s a great step forward for
Texas, but (it) neecis fine tuning,"
Clements said.
“As I review House Bill 72, I see
that Mark White has flunked the
course and should not be allowed to
play,” he said.
White, a Democrat who defeated
Clements in 1982, said that his ad
ministration has been working on
improving education matters that
Clements destroyed.
“We’ve had so many difficult chal
lenges to overcome,” White said.
“It’s been tough on everyone.”
Clements said he was in
spending 51 percent of the!
budget on education and crin
White for wanting tocutedm
and raise taxes during the i
cal crisis.
Clements said raising taxes 1
not necessarily the solution.
“1 have told Mark Whi
