Welfare cuts hit AFDC and Medicaid in Texas
The Texas State Board of Public Welfare announced April 1 as the start for sharp reductions in welfare and medical aid. AFDC payments drop from 75 to 66 percent of budget needs, about $11 a month, while Medicaid is cut 20 percent. Nursing home operators warn the cut could shutter 95 percent of facilities, prompting calls for a special legislative session. The land program for veterans folds, and Antiquities Committee issues first permits and sets rules for excavations. Kindergarten expansion planning begins with 1,500 teachers needed next year and $10 million initial cost. The Democratic Executive Committee will meet March 9 in San Antonio to certify candidates for May primary and set convention plans.
