Board Approves Million for Welfare Cost Cuts
The State Controlling Board releases 1.1 million to the welfare department to pursue cost-cutting and auditing efficiency as urged by legislation. It withholds 809 thousand of a 2 million request, delaying a proposed assistant director for benefit eligibility and oversight. House Finance Chairman Myrl H. Shoemaker questions funding a consultant study, noting past vetoes by Gov. Rhodes. A 2 million supplemental appropriation remains tied to the plan, with unsettled 1976 funds to offset Medicaid needs.
