Colorful cast in governors' races; crime remains the election issue By JOHN KING AP Political Writer Crime is far and away the dominant issue in this year's 36 elections for governor, a crowded lineup that features contests in the eight largest states, no shortage of embattled incumbents and a handful of intriguing independents. Beyond that, the races feature some of the most colorful personalities in. American politics, including New York Gov. Mario Cuomo and Texas Gov. Ann Richards. And three children of prominent politicians Kathleen Brown of California and Jeb and George W. Bush, in Florida and Texas, respectively, are looking to carve out niches of their own. While the Labor Day weekend opens a nine-week sprint to Election Day, it can hardly be considered the kickoff for these campaigns, most of which have been at fall intensity levels throughout the summer. At stake is control of the governor's office in 18 of the 25 most populous states, giving these races spe cial importance at the White House because of their importance in 1996 presidential politics. This year's statehouse contests also could factor EARN MONEY - GOING TO.CLASS Need GPA. 3.2+ Now Hiring Notetakers for Fall 1994 Nittany Notes 238-0623 ADMJ 221.1,2 GEOSC 040.1 AG EC 101.1 HDFS 249 AG EC 201.1 HIST 001.1 AGRO 028.1 HIST 002.2 AM ST 100.1 MICRB 010.1 ANTH 001.1 MKTG 221.1,2 ANTH 002.1 MKTG 221.3,4 ASTRO 010.3 MKTG 428.1,2 B LOG 301.2 OPMGM 301.1 CLASS 033.1 PHIL 124.1 CMLIT 108.1-9 PL SC 117.1 COMM 180.1 PSY 423.1 COMM 370.1 PTYSC 301.1 ECON 004.4 RL ST 001.4 ECON 333.3,4 SOC 001.5 FD SC 200.1 SOC 005.3 FIN 100.2 SOC 012.1 GEOG 454.1 SPAN 130.1 ENTERTAINMENT I , Aurlloßn r y .

Democrats now hold 29 governors' offices; the GOP has 20. Connecticut has an independent governor. That seat is up this year, as are 21 held by Democrats and 14 by Republicans. Independent candidacies are major factors in at least five states: Maine, Pennsylvania, Oklahoma, New Mexico and Connecticut. In Maine, independent Angus King is given decent odds at winning. From a policy standpoint, the sharp campaign debates over crime, welfare reform, taxes and school spending and standards foreshadow the themes, par ticularly in the areas of spending and law enforce ment, likely to dominate state politics in the next year. Immigration is also a major issue in several states, especially California and Florida, as governors of both parties demand that the federal government pay the high prison, school and health care costs states incur for illegal immigrants. • SqqMS .4. 44SSS.MiCifSS:.%ggi:4S.4:SSi:S:SiSSiSS I 3 4 Si 4 S4ACSV -::. .%. ..7. ... .# 4 , At the Days Inn Penn State -.., ..P.T.
