Cites Need for New Equipment to Detect and Prevent Crime
LITTLE ROCK AP The Arkansas General Assembly again considers overriding a governor veto as Rep W H Thompson seeks more welfare aid for nursing home residents. The House approved 70 to 12 to override, while the Senate delayed amid Gov Winthrop Rockefeller’s veto and a proposed administrative plan from Welfare Commissioner A J Moss. The bill would raise monthly grants by 30 dollars across nursing home classifications, with future increases. Rockefeller cited a 100000 dollar revenue impact and possible loss of federal funds. A separate teacher tenure bill faced death as the Senate expunged its earlier vote, after House attempts to recall the measure failed.
