Democratic challenger Tony Sanchez, facing
ry in another televised debate, again had to

loan where suspected drug money was laun-
Jedinthe 1980s.
Sanchez accused Perry of becoming

udges and two federal agencies

money laundering matter.

Perry said he vetoed the Medicaid restructur-
I because it called for “overly cumber
restructuring at the state Department of

Ithebill, he has managed to find money for
state to fund breast and cervical cancer treat-
til programs.
The wide-ranging Medicaid restructuring bill
t Perry vetoed contained several proposals,
lading a women’s health care program that
aid have allowed the state to get $9 in feder-
money for every state dollar spent on preven-

legislative session that would have reduced paper
work for school teachers. Educator groups have
criticized that veto.
Perry said the bill would have taken away local
control. He said he has been a supporter of teach
ers and noted that in 1999 when he was lieutenant
governor, the Legislature passed a $3,000 pay
raise for teachers.
Sanchez emphasized that the two largest
teachers organizations have endorsed him.
“He vetoed the (teacher paperwork) bill know
ing full well that it's very important to them,”
Sanchez said. “That’s another
example of what he says is not
what he does.”
Perry denied that he didn't
communicate well with the Texas
Legislature last year after ascend
ing to the governorship after
George W. Bush resigned to
become president.
“The vast majority of the cases
where the vetoes occurred, there
were signals sent. In some, very
strong signals,” Perry said.
In the savings and loan
exchange. Perry said that Sanchez
as leader of the savings and loan
should have known that suitcases
full of cash from Mexico were
flowing into Tesoro in 1983 and 1984.
Perry pointed out that Tesoro’s failure required
a $161 million federal bailout and questioned
whether someone who doesn’t know what’s going
on at his own bank should lead the state.
When asked about the impending state budget
shortfall, estimated to be $5 billion or more for
the coming two-year cycle, neither candidate pro
vided specific cuts they would advocate.
Both said they wanted to approach the budget
problem without imposing new taxes.
It was the second and final televised debate
between Perry and Sanchez.
Sanchez, a multimillionaire who has never
held elected office, is hoping to sway undecided
voters in his effort to oust political veteran Perry
and become the state’s first Hispanic governor.
The two clashed in their first debate Oct. 9 in
Houston.
A poll by The Dallas Morning News released
last weekend showed Perry favored by 50 percent
of likely voters surveyed. Sanchez was backed by
35 percent, and 14 percent were undecided. The
margin of error was plus or minus 3 percentage
points.
