Opposition grows in General Assembly to White budget
In Columbus on September 29 opposition in the General Assembly shelved two salary cutting bills and signaled changes to a third. Senate Republicans and Democrats backed larger savings, proposing $505,000 yearly cuts in election board and precinct costs while a Finance Committee plan deepened state official salary reductions. The third county official salary bill awaits action, likely aligning with state cuts. Governor White said he would not seek a special session to fund unpaid road assessments from gasoline tax revenues and may propose city building projects via the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to curb slum districts. The Senate may form a committee to study relief options, noting $20,000,000 would be needed to aid property owners and about $22,000,000 more to refund assessments already paid.
