Gov. Millard F. Caldwell warned that without ample new revenue the state’s teachers would be worse off. He projected about 12.5 million dollars annually in new taxes needed to fund the Legislature’s school program and a 10 million dollar reserve to cover revenue declines. The governor noted current law diverts 20 million dollars yearly to teachers, while the new plan would allocate about one third of 33 million to capital and operating costs, hurting teacher pay. He tied his tax estimate to a 62.4 million general appropriations bill approved by the Senate, with House cuts moving funds to contingent items. He did not comment on a slot machine bill then before the Senate.
