Education funds face dip into special trust for annual needs
The Education ton committee proposes drawing at least 5,607,686 dollars yearly from the special education trust fund, plus 5,250,000 if a pending revenue bill is not passed. The bill would raise corporate income tax up to 3 to 5 percent. A general appropriations bill around 16.6 million for 1949-50 and 17.4 million for 1950-51 is being shaped, far below Gov. Folsom's proposed 40 million per year. Many revenue bills to support the program have failed in committee or on the House floor.
