Governor Smith vetoes 1973 budget rewrite demand in Texas
Governor Preston Smith announced a historic veto blocking a full 1973 budget rewrite by the Legislature. He will seek a new $3.1 billion spending plan with no new taxes before September 1972, and calls a 1972 special session inevitable over welfare funding. The move shifts control of 1973 spending to lawmakers and signals a broader review of state expenditures.
