Senate poised to approve 1.7 billion stop gap funds
The Senate plans preliminary approval of 1.7 billion in stop gap bills to fund the state for an eight month transition. Gov Shafer may sign next Monday as the new fiscal year begins. Welfare orders keep July payments at current levels while a 75 percent cut was dropped. State aid and related institutions would receive half their current funding through October and January payments at 1969 70 levels. Scholarships remain funded at half the current budget for the first semester of the next academic year. Senate leader Fleming said the stop gap sizing should ensure passage of an income tax next spring and that major bills face a summer recess with a September return planned.
