He noted the state may have "over-earmarked funds." He cited quality of life and low taxes as the state's best economic incentives, Case said he does not favor heavy subsidies to industry, is against new taxes, and feels government has not cut back, "unlike the rest of us," He said the mineral trust fund may be a source for diverting funds to programs such as wage increases for public employees, and easing the loads of overworked social services employees. Case again cited the need for increased auditing capabilities, He said, "I would slay pro-choice during my tenure in the Legislature, but I would be happy to have it on the (1994) I Republican Occupation: rancher Residence: Recluse Prior elective ofTlce: 13 years Wyoming House, Prior elective office I Nunley. 39, said the Legislature either has to learn to live uh-in its means or figure out how to fund what the slate needs. "We need to develop some goals and priorities so we know just what it is we want and figure Lrb 63, is If I unoppose Hi "I WON Louise Ryckman photograph unavailable Pi i i 1 1 1 i 'i Recluse school board member Wallis, 60, has no opponent in this race. He said the most important challenge facing the state is keeping the budget balanced without increasing taxes.

He said some programs may need to be eliminated. The state also needs to look at the "strings attached" to federal money that Wyoming is offered, the incumbent representative said. Abortion is a moral issue that is "impossible to legislate," Wallis said. Closed caucuses have always been part of the legislative process, he said. He does not support recording all votes since people could easily take individual votes out-of-con-text, and the recording process would cause "a tremendous increase in paperwork." Democrat Occupation: teacher Residence: Green River Prior elective ofTlce: 8 years Wyoming I louse, 9 years Green River this contest.

He believes the Legislature needs to "stop all this unnecessary spending." Programs probably will have to be cut across the board, he said. He supports keeping Wyoming's taxes low in order to attract industry. On education, Lrb said, "I'd like to keep the money in the classroom." Lxcess at the administrative level should be cut, he said. The choice of whether or not to have a child should be made prior to intercourse, said. "I don't like to sec abortion used as birth control," he said.

"The only time I could go along with abortion is in the case of the health of the mother." On closed caucuses Erb believes that because the media would "crucify" legislators who get into an argument on the floor, "it's better to have everything worked out before you go before the press." He would support recording all legislative votes. .1 The incumbent representative believes the Legislature has to "realistically address" revenue collection and keep the state audit department strong. The Legislature also needs to find a permanent source of revenue for education, Ryckman said. She opposes abortion rights, calling herself "a pro-life person," but she also said, "the state law as it is, is fine." She opposes closed caucuses and favors recording all legislative votes. School Board Ryckman, 46, is unopposed in this race.

She said the next Legislature needs to look at "the big picture" of state finances. The Legislature has failed to take an overall look at the budget, choosing instead to make across-the-board cuts that leave many agencies, especially social services, needy, Ryckman said. In the meantime, she said, "we have money sitting in accounts that doesn't get used." Eli D. Bebout Democrat Occupation: electrical engineer working in the drilling business Residence: Riverton Prior elective office: Wyoming I louse 6 years Bebout, 45, said jobs and economic development are big issues for Wyoming. "We need to continue to create new jobs and keep the people that we have here employed," he said.

The state cannot continue to depend on revenue from minerals, Bebout said. Legislators need to look at prisons, education, health, and family services, and make sure that funds are being spent effectively, the incumbent representative said. Although he is personally opposed to abortion, Bebout said, "1 can't pass a law that tells those people what to do." Sometimes, when talking about strategy or personnel issues, closed caucuses are necessary, Bebout said. He would favor recording all legislative votes. Marlene Brodrick Republican Occupation: retired teacher.

businesswoman Residence: Riverton Prior elective oMlce: appointed to serve out the remaining I louse term of Mary Odde Brodrick, 44. said she believes the economy and creating jobs in Wyoming is the most importation issue this election year. Shortfalls in the state budget are inev itable and cuts will have to be made, she said "I think family serv ices, thcii stucture needs to be looked at." she said. The state's public healif services need help and education needs a stable source of funding. In general.

Brodrick said. "I don't think we need to be investing in more government." "I'm morally opposed to abortion, but I think Wyoming laws should stand as they arc," she said. "I think closed caucuses are okay," she said. Brodrick said it is unnecessary to record votes in committees since committee sessions are open to the public and minutes are taken.
