Bumpers to Halt Empire Building in Arkansas
Gov Dale Bumpers pledged to curb empire building by consolidating agencies and eliminating others to save money. He told the Arkansas Legislative Council that several agencies could be merged or cut, with decisions based on careful study and meaningful results as he plans to seek economies before proposing new tax measures and budgets for the 1971-73 biennium. He urged patience and warned some steps may be politically unpopular while aiming for a productive, realistic session.
