a SPOTLIGHT
Democrat Kurt Glassco.
Price’s chances of defeating Democrat David
Walters hinge heavily on a strong GOP turnout
in Tulsa for Price. Republicans in that vicinity
have been crucial to every GOP gubernatorial
victory since Gov. Henry Bellmon's in 1962.
Inhofe, along with Sen. Don Nickles and 5th
District Cong. Mickey Edwards, were among
congressional Republicans who opposed the first
bi-partisan budget deficit remedy. It was sup-
ported by Bush. Of the three, however, Edwards
was most visible against the White House posi-

A comprehensive analysis of Oklahoma envi-
ronmental hazards was completed last year, in
November, 1988, Gov. Henry Be lmon had cre-
ated by executive order the Oklahoma Environ-
mental Concerns Council. He recruited Tulsa
attorney Ross Swimmer as its coordinator
Dozens of persons contributed reports and helped
draft, 31 recommendations outlined in a 120-page
report issued Oct. 4,1989. .
Represented on the council were industrial,
agricultural and business people, public officials,
academic researchers and technicians, environ-
mental and other interest groups The work was
divided into five sub-groups. Each was assigned
to deal with a broad but interrelated area. Regu-
latory structures, solid waste, land use and pres-
ervation, water quality and air quality.
Most far-reaching recommendation was to
create an environmental management depa
ment, headed by a cabinet secretary appointed by
the governor. The idea got nowhere because ofiz
cials of five state agencies came out against it, but
legislators and Bellmon did approve a limited
The agency heads proposed instead to give
the state Department of Health more authority to
regulate municipal and industrial water and
waste disposal practices that are also subject to
federal controls. That was done, at least partially,
in legislation passed last spring. The bill requires
the Health agency to expand its regulatory opera-
tions, using revenue from a new $3-per-year ee
on garbage collection services.
tion at that time.
Edwards’ activities got national TV publicity,
thanks to House minority whip Newt Gingrich,
R-Georgia. In a talk to financial industry execu-
tives, Gingrich praised Edwardsfor helpingtrash
the first budget blueprint. It was a slap at Bush
and the bi-partisan coalition which offered it.
By challenging other Republican leaders, the
Gingrich-Edwards group, was labeled at the time
as “the minority within the minority.” Edwards
later unveiled a new deficit reduction plan in an
effort to quell disputes within GOP congressional
circles. And by applauding Bush before home-
town folks, Edwards can expect many to forget
that he broke with Bush on a key issue.
The split within the GOP over deficit reduc-
tion schemes has been a big national news story,
whereas the chasm between the OOP’s top candi-
dates in Oklahoma has been a local show so far.
Quayle dealt deftly with it, but his campaign
tactics seldom rate nationwide attention.
How the president relates to Oklahoma s
unusual campaign scene could get wide media
attention. For Bush to bypass Tulsa, then praise
Price while snubbing Jones could be seen by
critics as a strange twist in the OOP’s family
quarrel.

AMOCIATION
TOUGHEST issues facing Oklahoma politi-
cians are those filed away, for the time being,
under one label: Environment. Probably because
they are so difficult, they are being ignored in
most Oklahoma political campaigns.
It is not unusual for candidates to try to avoid
3 issues which are complex or controversial. To
f mention them is to risk more negative than posi-
tive voter reactions. Nevertheless, a variety of
environmental problems confront elected officials
