He singled out Bert Lance as a standout and reaffirmed vows to veto a two cent per gallon gasoline tax hike unless an emergency justifies it. He offered cautious stance on state bonds for low income housing, citing philosophical opposition to state real estate involvement while supporting home ownership.
