Hoff seeks hold the line budget for Vermont 1964
Gov. Philip Hoff presents a one year hold the line budget to the legislature with General Fund expenditures near 35 million and Highway Fund spending about 25 million. Surpluses arise from delaying first year construction and using existing highway cash. The plan freezes education health welfare and capital programs while proposing three bond issues and limited increases for state offices. Hoff says the budget addresses limited resources and aims to shift to a more economical use of tax revenues in the next biennium.
