Minnesota lawmakers eye million dollar signs in budget push
Minnesota legislators finish week four of the session facing a record $542 million two year spending program proposed by Gov. Elmer Andersen. They review a $66 million University of Minnesota request and move to expand school fund borrowing to $90 million amid an $18 million deficit. They consider a $5 million state college act and a gross earnings tax to replace the personal property tax. Debate over new excise taxes and constitutional questions on automobile taxes continues as the House pushes a withholding bill toward the Senate. The session also explores eight congressional districts per the 1960 census and potential shifts among Minnesota’s eight House seats.
