Budget clash looms as House balks at Senate bill
The Ways and Means Chair doubts the House will back the Senate version of the 1.051 billion budget. Charleston Rep Julian Lea Mond cautions it is early to predict a conference route. The Senate approved the measure after three days of debate aided by diplomacy and two amended provisions. A Social Services compromise gives the department $32 million in Social Security funds with the governor guiding use and a 20 member advisory panel. Senate Finance Chairman Dennis withdrew a proposed tax on liquor and minibottle dealers, citing imprudence. If House objections arise, reprinting delays could push action to Tuesday, potentially extending the 1975 session into June with a conference committee. Dennis downplays the deficit as a concern amid expected revenue growth rising from 9 to 13 percent.
