Construction of the dam and A Kepublocan's view Candidate condemns 'political power brokers' By LAURA MAYFIELD Stall Writer Taking away the power of the Democratic leaders in North Carolina politics is crucial to a successful state government, Jim Gardner, a Republican candidate for lieutenant governor, told about 20 people in the Union Tuesday. "North Carolina is run behind closed doors, in private sessions, by eight very powerful men," he said. "The time has come to give the North Carolina Legislature back to the people of our state. It's time to make it work for us not the political power brokers." Gardner, who wants to be the first Republican lieutenant gover nor of the century, said establishing an open meetings law allowing the press and the public to attend any congressional session is crucial. A Tests the recent trend in mushrooms' popularity, Riddick said. "I think people who don't normally get high might think shrooms are the better way to go," he said. "There doesn't seem to be a lot of negative talk about it. Shrooms haven't gotten the bad publicity that other drugs have gotten." Riddick estimates that he has treated 150 people for substance abuse since joining Student Health Service's Health Education staff in APP a mm mm mm i n ' v mmmm mm ' mmmm Hi XJ TRAIN WITH THE NUCLEAR INDUSTRY'S LEADER, AND YOU COULD END UP LEADING THE INDUSTRY.

The construction phases remaining include finishing the concrete spillway structure that lets water flow through the dam, building the pump station similar state law is already in effect, but the legislature is exempt from it, he said. "If you're going to have freedom of the press, it's going to have to start in the halls of the Capitol Building," he said. Gubernatorial veto power is also necessary for an effective state legislature, Gardner said. "North Carolina is the only state in the union not to grant veto power. We could stop all the secrecy in state government," he said. "(Gov.) Jim Martin is the most honest, straight-shooting man in politics. He's done an outstanding job," Gardner said. "Had he had any help from the legislature he could have done an even better one. Every single bill he introduced was stricken down. We're getting back to those eight men." November 1987. "About 10 percent of the folks IVe talked to have done shrooms," he said. "Only three or four of them came (to Student Health) because of shrooms."

Gardner dismissed complaints by fellow GOP members that he is not a true conservative, saying his voting record is more conser vative than that of Republican U.S. Sen. Jesse Helms. A Martin-Gardner ticket would offer North Carolina the strongest leadership it has seen in many years, Gardner said. "In 1990 well see more Demo crats put out of office than anyone can imagine.
