r The Daily Tar HeelThursday, November 3, 19883 State candidates wrami glle aboyt DegDslative pro raoims From Associated Press reports Legislative Democrats Wednesday accused Gov. Jim Martin of taking credit for programs on the campaign trail that were enacted despite his opposition, but a Martin aide said it was the Legislature that blocked matiy of Martin's good ideas. "Jim Martin and the Republicans who are campaigning for office have '.opposed almost every constructive land good piece of legislation consi dered by the General Assembly ;during the last four years, and then ; after it was passed, he has taken credit ;for it," House Speaker Liston Ram sey said at a news conference with ; Democratic House members and ; senators in front of the Legislature. ; "Jim Martin talks a lot about better ; schools, better roads, better jobs and ; a better environment," Ramsey said. ;The facts are plain. He has flunked ; on all four issues." ; State Sen. Kenneth Royall, D ; Durham, said Martin violated state ; law and the Constitution by submit ; ting a budget that was out of balance. ; Martin's budget was based on ; revenue projections that later proved to be too optimistic. The governor could have stayed within the law and Constitution if he had not turned his nose at the North Carolina Advisory Budget Commis sion, a pillar of North Carolina's budgetary structure for the past 63 years," Royall said. Royall said Martin had shown an "arrogant disregard for sound budgeting procedures" this year by ignoring the ABC, a committee of legislators that in previous years had quietly reshaped Martin's budget before it arrived at the General Assembly. "Mr. Martin has nothing but contempt for the legislative branch of government," Royall said. "He unleashes mean-spirited criticism at the Legislature at every opportunity and seems to rank the Legislature somewhere between Satan and Sherman." Royall said Martin had practiced "pure chicanery" by demanding the Legislature do things that were unreasonable and then portraying himself as fighting an obstructionist Legislature when they refused. "That's sort of like the pot calling the kettle black to accuse the gov ernor of taking credit from an obstructionist Legislature," said Martin campaign spokesman Tim Pittman. "The Legislature, unfortu nately, blocked a lot of good ideas from the governor. This election, to some degree, comes down to how the voters feel about the Legislature." Martin, meanwhile, told Republi cans at a luncheon in Mitchell County that he hoped to get both a second term and a Republican lieutenant governor for the next four years. Current Lt. Gov. Bob Jordan is running against Martin. "I want better roads and schools, but I also want a better lieutenant governor," Martin said in Spruce Pine. "Jim Gardner will be someone I can work with." Gardner, meanwhile, says that if Democrats in the state Senate attempt to 'strip him of such power as appointing committee chairmen, the ploy will backfire. "I'm convinced that, if they did that, they could well destroy the Democrat Party of this state as a force for a long time," Gardner told the Winston-Salem Journal. "You have an election in 1990, and every one of them has to run for re-election. "If they would freeze me out, change the rules, all for pure partisan politics, I would just simply go to the people of the state and say, 'Is this what you want? You want people who just disregard your vote, it doesn't mean anything? Put these people out.' " Under the state Constitution, the lieutenant governor's only powers are to preside over the Senate and cast a vote in case of a tie. Senate rules, which can be changed by a two-thirds vote, now allow the lieutenant gov ernor to appoint committee members and chairmen, which gives him influence over legislation sent to those committees. tUoSo bankruptcy judge to pick PTL ouirchaseir from 4 bidders From Associated Press reports COLUMBIA, S.C. U.S. Bank ruptcy Judge Rufus Reynolds is expected to choose a buyer for PTL's 'assets in two weeks from four bidders, including one who wants to return 'deposed leader Jim Bakker to the "helm at Heritage USA. ..PTL Trustee M.C. "Red" Benton 1nt October recommended Reynolds accept a $115 million offer from Stephen Mernick of Toronto. After that, another Canadian, Vancouver's "Peter Thomas of Samoth Capital "Corp., resubmitted a bid of $113 "rnillion directly to the court. " ' A bid of $120 million was made 'last week by a Christian business "association called "Holy Celebra 'tion." Its two trustees are Herbert Nelson, a lawyer from Greenbelt, Md., and Sandi Kalez of Seattle. Houston attorney William Dupont ' represents them. A group of ministers and business men loosely known as "Lexalt Uni versity" have offered $116 million for PTL. On Nov. 16, Reynolds will hold a hearing to decide which of the four offers will be accepted for the tele vision network and 2,200-acre Chris tian retreat near Fort Mill. According to U.S. Bankruptcy Court Trustee Joseph Buzhardt, the Mernick bid is the only one that can be legally approved on Nov. 16. He said there must be 20 days notice for approval of a sale. "It's absolutely necessary," to give the ministry back to Bakker, said the Rev. Edward Brown of Atlanta, who was acting for "Lexalt University." "If Jim Bakker is not at the helm in the future, sooner or later, Heritage USA would fall apart." "I am thrilled at the thought of returning to television with the people we love," Bakker said Wednesday. "We're looking forward to returning Heritage USA to the partners and lifetime members who built it." "We will be very happy to work with those who have the same goal of restoration of PTL and Heritage USA to a full ministry center," Bakker said in response to Brown's comments. The Jim and Tammy Ministries are currently located in Charlotte, N.C. Brown offered $116 million in his bid Thursday in U.S. Bankruptcy Court in Columbia. But "Lexalt University does not really exist," said Brown, an interdenominational min ister and financial consultant. He said Lexalt University and The Covenant Group are names for the "facilitators," the financial backers who will "bring the funds." Lexalt University backers are "ministers who are teachers. There will be an opportunity to teach" at Heritage USA if it's sold to Lexalt University, he said. The Covenant Group describes itself as "Christian businessmen and associates of men all over the country, in and out of the United States." .Student struck by automobile : f! f! rrt n n jO a t iwimoiie crossooe iaiieiHini sweeu By JENNY CLONINGER Assistant University Editor UNC student was struck and' fibred by a car when she crossed the section of Raleigh Street in front of AfcJerman Residence Hall Wednes day night. fitnesses said Karin Elizabeth Ty4cy, a 19-year-old sophomore from ajeigh, ran from between two packed cars.
