The Governor said he did not discuss V-M-I's request for additional funding
today with Superintendent Josiah Bunting.
But he DID say he wants to help, and he believes the taxpayers would accept
SOME additional expense.
The Supreme Court ruled June 26th that V-M-I cannot continue to accept state
funds without opening its enrollment to women.
One of the ironies is: it will almost certainly cost the state more to
comply with the court order.

Representative Bob Goodlatte is campaigning on some unfamiliar territory.
In his first re- election bid in 1994, he ran unopposed.
So now for the first time as an INCUMBENT, Goodlatte faces competition.
And not just from a Democrat, but from a Libertarian candidate as well.
But he says he's doing nothing different during this campaign.
He says he's just focusing on the key issues, like a balanced budget
agreement.

RUNS=:12
OUT Q=or form
During this campaign... Goodlatte is ALSO pointing to his Congressional
accomplishments.
Notably... getting Southern Virginia College back on track and pushing for a
couple of new Federal highways for the area.
But the potential interstates have gotten him in trouble with some
environmental groups.
In fact, the League of Conservation Voters gave him a rating of zero on a
one hundred point scale.
Stand up
Goodlatte has a distinct advantage over his opponents when it comes to
campaign funds.
According to the most recent reports... the incumbent has raised nearly 600-
thousand dollars-- more than twice the amount of his challengers combined.
End stand up
One way he's done it is through big money, fundraiser dinners... like this
one a few weeks ago at the Hotel Roanoke.
But on that night, his campaign suffered somewhat of a set back.
Goodlatte invited Sonny Bono-- the entertainer turned Congressman from
California.
During the dinner, Bono raised eyebrows when he said the U- S uses hit
squads to support the Haitian government... comments Bono couldn't back up.

Goodlatte calls the Bono debacle just "a minor stumbling block."
He believes his accomplishments and goals are voters think are important.
And he says that will propel him to his third term in office.

We'll profile Bob Goodlatte's Democratic challenger, Jeff Grey, in this, his
first political endeavor.
