O Conor Impounds State Funds to Save Millions
Governor O Conor moves to impound 1 006 303 dollars of state appropriations for the current year. Funds will sit out of reach of departments and may be used for tax cuts postwar construction or emergency needs. If not spent this year, balances revert to the general treasury on June 30. The action, urged by the Board of Public Works, aims to reduce government costs while preserving departmental efficiency. Fiscal officers say the cut is feasible without harming operations and adds to a multi year savings record reaching about 9.63 million.
