Docking campaigns on farm issues
United Press International
COLBY — LL.Gov. Tom Docking yesterday launched a two-day swing of northwest Kansas to campaign on farm issues and to talk about restoring the vitality of small towns hit by the farm crisis.
Docking, a candidate for the Democratic nomination for governor, kicked off his tour with a speech at Colby Community College. He attended a town meeting in Goodland last night. Docking is scheduled to visit St. Francis, Atwood and Oakley today.
A news release from Docking's campaign office said the 31-year-old candidate promised to seek
credit relief for troubled farmers, strengthen the state's marketing of agricultural goods and develop capital for new food processing businesses.
"The challenge of the future is to enhance programs like international marketing and (Farmers Assistance, Counseling and Training Service), and to find innovative solutions to the farm credit crisis and the lack of job opportunities in our rural communities." Docking's prepared speech said.
Docking, son of former Gov. Robert Docking and grandson of former Gov. George Docking, said he favored giving tax credits to banks that lend low-interest operating money to farmers.
A bill that would do this has languished in the House Ways and Means Committee for more than a year. It is supported by Gov John Carlin and already has won Senate approval.
Docking he favored a rural life agenda aimed at bolstering the economies of small towns
Docking is presently the only declared candidate for the Democratic gubernatorial nomination.
The state also should consider funding developing food processing companies, Docking said. This would be possible only if a proposed constitutional amendment allowing the state to participate in internal improvements is approved by the Legislature and, subsequently, the voters.
Rep. candidate says state ready to sacrifice
The Associated Press
TOPEKA - Pittsburg businessman Gene Bicknell said yesterday that the citizens of Kansas were ready to sacrifice for their state to attract new business and industry and create career opportunities for their children.
Bicknell made the remarks as he swept across the state announcing his candidacy for the Republican
nomination for governor. Bicknell said that Kansas was facing tough times and that the job of governor demanded someone with initiative and creativity who was a proven business leader. None of the five other GOP candidates is as qualified, he said.
"Austere is important, and I'm conservative by nature and I will willing to cut fat in budgets." Bicknell told reporters during his two-day sw
ing across the state.
"The main issue in this race is going to be industrial development. We need to create jobs to keep our young people in Kansas. The need for industrial development has been in Kansas for a long time."
Bicknell, 53, described himself as who the lead of a lead and zinc miner who built himself into a multimillionaire
"I'm tired of hearing that Kansas is some desolate area of a pond with a
lonely duck." he said.
Bicknell said he would be glad to compare his credentials for the job with the five other candidates seeking the GOP nomination — Larry Jones, who was chairman of the Coleman Co., Secretary of State Jack Brier; House Speaker Mike Hayden; Richard Peckham, an Andover lawyer; and Barbara Pomeroy, an instructor at Wichita State University.
