Governor Trumbull Seeks Merged State Boards Plan
Governor John H. Trumbull will ask the Legislature in a special session to abolish the State Board of Finance and the Board of Control and to create a larger Board of Control with a finance commissioner. The move aims to advance a pay as you go government, pitting supporters of the current finance policy against those favoring bonding. The session focuses on recasting state finance authority, displacing the old committee system and reshaping oversight of public health and welfare amid debate over a four year term for a health director and a strengthened public welfare role. The proposal faces strong opposition from health and welfare groups fearing loss of local control and expertise.
