Based on U.S. Department of Labor statistics, McMaster said, "In Texas, total state tax collections increased at a faster rate than any other nlttte last year. Michigan wan number two. It is not unlikely that Gov. Bush would find Gov. Engler a willing running mute since they both are on tax and spend sprees." "Gov. Bush handled that very- well," Rep. Susan Tabor fR-Delto Township) said. HHe said, 'We cut taxes in the state of Texas and then got re-electe'd because of it.' And that is really what I think people want to know." Hatch advocated requiring libraries to install filtering soft ware on their Internet-linked computers to keep pornography out of the hands of children. "Some people look at that as we are starting to delve into an area of freedom of speech. The difference is that these are our kids. They are not grown ups. They are children. So I think we have to draw a line somewhere." Tabor said. Cassis noted that Michigan leads the nation on this issue because it has already instituted laws enabling libraries to put fil ters on computers. Bush and McCain, prompted by a question from a'college stu dent, pledged to ovoid negative campaign ads, McCain even walked across to shake hands with Bush when he mad*; the pledge. That's fine. Bush believes • in the 11th commandment," Engler said. "That doesn't mean they will be blowing each other kisses for the rest of the campaign. There are issues we can talk about. That's not negative.
