Mark White of picking Texans’ pockets with repeated tax increases, “‘ll Cl Republican Bill Clements stopped short Tuesday of pledging to reverse any of the White-approved tax hikes. White enacted a total of $7 billion in new taxes during his four-year term, Clements said, seriously dam aging the Texas economy. However, Clements wouldn’t promise a rollback when asked if he would try to repeal some of those new taxes. Candidates' TV debate canceled DALLAS (AP) — Public tele vision station KERA canceled Thursday’s gubernatorial debate between Democratic incumbent Mark White and GOP challenger Bill Clements. A statement Tuesday from the Dallas-Fort Worth-Demon station cited a decision by the Clements campaign not to participate. The station also reported an impasse with White on a workable format. Clements’ aides earlier had re ported scheduling problems. KERA then promoted the forum as a one-chair debate. "We will leave the 8 p.m. Thursday time slot open until the last possible moment, as well as offer any time on any date before the election in hopes that the can didates will reconsider their deci sions,” said KERA President and General Manager Dr. Richard J. Meyer. “Whether we can in fact roll back taxes ... I don’t really know,” Clem ents said. Clements said that as governor he would examine the entire state tax structure to see if it should be over hauled to keep up with a changing economy. “If we can roll back some of these more significant taxes that have been increased under Mark White, I would certainly be willing to take a hard look at that,” Clements said. “But the whole (tax) restructuring process has to be revenue-neutral. We are not going, overall, to in crease taxes in the state of Texas while I’m governor during this next legislative session.” In 1984, White signed a $4.8 bil lion sales and fuel tax increase to fund school reforms and highway improvements. Last month, in the face of a $2.8 billion state budget deficit, he OK’d temporary increases in the sales tax — raising it from 4'/h cents to 5'A — and gasoline tax. In a speech to officials of the Texas Soil and Water Conservation Districts, Clements said those tax in creases had made Texas less appeal ing to businesses. That means fewer new jobs being created, he said. “He’s sent the worst possible mes sage to businesses," Clements com plained. Clements said Massachusetts learned that lower taxes would help its economy several years ago and began to cut taxes. “That state’s economy has begun to grow again. Surely, what Massa chusetts can do, Texas can also do and do better,” he said. The Republican said state spend ing under White has raged out of control, calling the swelling budget a major factor in the state’s economic bust. “Time and time again, Mark White insisted that he would not raise taxes," he said. “Then he in creased state spending and taxes." Texas unemployment steady in September AUSTIN (AP) — Unemployment in Texas’ urban areas during Sep tember remained close to the August figures, the Texas Employment Commission said Tuesday. The statewide average for Sep tember was 9.1, the same as August. The unemployment rate for Bryan- College Station dropped from 6.9 in August to 6.4 in September. “There’s just not a whole lot of change,” said John Kruse, TEC la bor market analyst. “The situation continues to be bad throughout the state with high levels of unemploy ment.
