Thompson Speaks To
Large Robins Crowd
Republican Gubernatorial
hopeful Ronnie Thompson
brought his campaign back to
Houston County and Middle
Georgia on Saturday, October
12.
In a full day, which saw the
candidate begin in DeKalb
County and end up in
Savannah, Mayor Thompson
arrived in Warner Robins at
approximately 12:45 P M
After a motorcade from High
way 247. the candidate spoke
before a crowd of 1000 to 1500
at Williams Plaza Shopping
Center
Mayor Thompson stressed
his law and order plank In
particular, the candidate
stressed a need for belter pay
and improved training for law
enforcement officers at all
levels and for speedier
disposition of criminal cases.
The candidate posed this
question: "How can criminal
sanctions act as a deterrent
when the offender stays out
indefinitely on bail during
endless delays in getting the
case to trial?”
Mayor Thompson blasted
his Democratic opponent as
“having no ideas on how to
combat crime other than
building more prisons” and
slated that, at the present rate
of growth, the Slate’s crime
rale would be four limes
higher in 1980 than at present.
Mayor Thompson ad
ditionally stressed his position
on education and reiterated
his call for more emphasis on
teacher qualifications, in
cluding teacher examinations.
The candidate slated that
“some teachers can’t spell
cat’ and don’t know what
continent they’re on” and
posed this question: “If
teachers give examinations to
school children, why should
they be afraid to lake
examinations themselves?”
Mayor Thompson further
stated that his opponent has
agreed to oppose any program
to upgrade teacher
qualifications in return lor a
$30,000.00 contribution from
the Georgia Association of
Educators.
Mayor Thompson scorched
his Democratic opponent for
refusal to debate and his
opponent's near seclusion
since the Primary campaign
and quoted his opponent's
Primary campaign statement
to the effect that "Anyone who
is not willing to publicly
debate the issues isn't fit to be
elected.”
The candidate also blasted
his opponent's heavy cam
paign spending and long list of
corporate and other “big
money" contributors. Mayor
Thompson further stated that
he would not accept any
contributions that might
jeopardize his independence
and slated that he had
returned a SIOO 00 Georgia
Power Company contribution.
Mayor Thompson concluded
his speech by announcing that
