State Comptroller Bob Bullock announced Monday he will run again in 1982. Bullock, first elected in 1974 with 70 percent and reelected in 1978 without opposition, said his record shows he gets the job done and will continue to enforce tax laws vigorously. He stressed that delinquent dollars reduce the need for new taxes and noted his early announcement would deter potential challengers.
