Richards pays THE ASSOCIATED PRESS AUSTIN (AP) — Gov. Ann Richards' commerce department paid $150,000 to entertainer Bob Hope, who will include Richards as a guest on his national ly televised Christmas special being filmed in San Antonio, officials said Tuesday. The Texas Republican Party questioned the use of state funds, and Richards' appearance on the pro gram. Karen Hughes, executive director of the state GOP, said state money should not have been used when other needs go unmet. She said Richards will "show case herself." Richards' office defended her appearance, saying it was non-political and gave the governor a chance to tout Texas. In addition, her office said Hope's pro ducers asked her to be on the show. "She is the state's premiere pitch person. That's what she is supposed to do," said Richards' press for guest spot secretary Bill Cryer. Commerce Department offi cials defended the expense, say ing the program will generate tourist dollars by showing off Texas to an audience of some 14 million viewers. "It's an excellent value for the state," Commerce Department ex ecutive director Cathy Bonner said. "It's going to be incredible coverage for the state and San Antonio." The San Antonio Convention and Visitors Bureau, and theme parks Sea World of Texas and Fiesta Texas, also paid $150,000 each for a total of $600,000 to Hope's production company, state officials said. Hughes of the state GOP said that this expense should have been paid for entirely by the private sec tor because the state is strapped for funds as law makers fight over a school financing system.
