Workman Attacks Riley Over Self-Succession Push
GOP candidate William Workman Jr. accuses Gov. Dick Riley of exploiting a constitutional amendment to seek a second term. He cites a 1980 state Supreme Court ruling disqualifying judges tied to the creation of a court and argues the same principle should have blocked Riley from a second four year term. Riley, a Democrat, began his term in 1979 and says the 1981 amendment allows two consecutive terms marking him the first governor since 1924 to attempt self succession.
