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 many a podium that heiss from a Mondale mentality,raei tax, tax, spend, spend,” he said White praised the legisfo working to pass a tax bill ini ond special session and said Clj ents has yet to produce a plan! ance the budget.
