GOP Refuses State Budget Without Welfare Bill
In Harrisburg Republicans withhold votes on Gov Shapp's 3.64 billion budget until a welfare control bill is passed and signed. Minority Leader Kenneth Lee says passage does not guarantee support and calls for 200 million in cuts. Speaker Fineman calls it a political ploy. The Appropriations Committee has a 3.69 billion budget, inflated for nonpublic school aid, with printing delays delaying a vote.
