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.
