Goode Would Balance Budget Plan Aims for Tax Outlook
A statement from John W. Bish outlines a plan to balance Alabama’s budget without new taxes. It calls for reductions in higher education funding and public schools, while funding floating debt and preserving essential services. The plan, billed as Goode measures, proposes substituting debt with negotiable warrants and adjusting bond terms to steady state finances. The article notes the governor’s pledge against new taxes and frames the budget balancer as a legislative effort with detailed fiscal figures for 1952-53.
