Jordan, Stewart speak
Lieutenant Governor candidates focus on same issues
By TOM CONLON
Staff Writer
Education, hazardous waste legisla
tion, restructuring of committees in the
N.C. Senate and economic development
will be key issues in the Lieutenant
Governor campaigns of Bob Jordan and
Carl Stewart, both candidates said Tues
day night.
The candidates spoke at a Lieutenant
Governors' forum in the Carolina Union,
sponsored by the UNC Young
Democrats. About 75 people attended the
forum.
"Teachers' salaries are too low," said
Jordan, a state senator from Mon
tgomery County. "I wold propose to
raise teachers' salaries by $2,000 a year,
across the board. This could be done
X
miiliiiiir rinir
Carl Stewart
without raising taxes by working with the
right priorities."
Jordan said 6 percent of surplus funds
or approximately $200 million
could be allocated to increase salaries for
teachers. Additional revenue sources pro
bably would be necessary, he said, but
would be proposed to teachers, legislators
and citizens before implementation
would come.
If I had been Lieutenant
Governor in 1982, the ERA
would have passed.
Carl Stewart
Stewart also proposed that the surplus
of funds cover expenses for higher
salaries. "The North Carolina tax system
has a lot of inequality," said Stewart, a
Gaston County legislator from 1966 to
1980, including two terms as House
speaker. "We could address fairness in
tax manners. If I am elected Lieutenant
Governor, I will propose creation of a tax
reform commission."
In regards to hazardous waste legisla
tion, Stewart said the most recent legisla
tion passed the N.C. House last spring
but was killed in the Senate because a
small number of legislators in leadership
positions influenced its fate.
Jordan said it would be his priority to
get the issue back on the floor, although
"it should be done in the (June 1984)
short session before that." He said that
responsible industries and citizens favor
hazardous waste legislation and that it
needs to be passed.
Senate structure includes too many
committees, both candidates said. "Forty
committees in the Senate are too many,"
Jordan said. "I was on 11 of them, and I
found that I couldn't make all of the
meetings because of conflicting
schedules.
"We need bigger and fewer commit
tees," he said. "With so many commit
tees, it is impossible for a bill to be seen
by more than a few people because not
everyone can make the committee
meetings. When the bill reaches the floor,
it probably has not been debated on
enough and ends up wasting legislative
time."
Jordan also said he intended to make
sure that bills sent to committees came
back from committees unless a bill was
tabled in a committee meeting.
Stewart proposed eliminating co
chairmanships and providing oppor
tunities for younger, more talented
members of the Senate to be appointed to
positions of leadership. "It's easy to keep
the same people in charge when you're in
office for eight years," he said. "But that
creates a lot of problems. Four or five
would propose to raise
teachers' salaries by $2,000 a
year, across the board.
Bob Jordan
people get together and decide whether a
bill will or won't pass. The Lieutenant
Governor has a responsibility to make
sure this doesn't happen, and I intend to
change it."
Stewart said it was a small group of
leaders who decided the fate for ERA in
the Senate. "If I had been Lieutenant
Governor in 1982, the ERA would' ve
passed," he said. Jordan said he would
have ensured the same.
Economic development is important to
the state and must be balanced
throughout the state, Jordan said. "Most
of our industrial development is in the
Research Triangle Park, the Triad area
(GreensboroWinston-SalemHigh Po
nt) and in Charlotte," he said. "Yet
Swain and Halifax counties have about
an 18 percent unemployment rate. We
need to make sure that development is ex
tended to rural areas as well."
Stewart said he agreed that balanced
industrial growth was a problem and said
the Lieutenant Governor should be given
more responsibility in that area. "I served
on the Economic Development Board for
four years," he said. "And I know that
we can attract our fair share of industry.
It must not only benefit the state, but
local communities as well."
After the forum, a Bob Jordan recep
tion and a Gary Hart birthday party were
held. Hart, who is seeking the democratic
presidential nomination in 1984, was
holding about 500 birthday parties across
the nation as a fund-raising activity.
