Survey backs tax hike over construction bonds in Missouri
The Missouri Public Expenditure Survey favors financing capital needs from current revenues via taxes rather than issuing bonds. It cites $22 million annual bond payments on a $300 million issue, higher costs from interest, and argues taxes would better sustain building programs. The report recalls a 1955 $75 million bond with $20 million interest and notes current plans depend on governor and legislature decisions.

Education funds limited warns educators in Columbia
Gov. Warren E. Hearnes told Missouri educators at the Governor's Conference on Education in Columbia that funds for major increases in school spending will not be available unless revenue producing measures with emergency clauses are enacted. He explained tax increases would be delayed and only partly raise revenue, stressing the need for emergency clauses and two thirds approval in the General Assembly. He urged the conference to reflect these financial realities in its recommendations.

Justice Department report disputed by Ramsey Clark
Attorney General Ramsey Clark dismissed as pure fabrication a Chicago Tribune claim that the Justice Department rewrote the Presidents Commission on Violence special report on the Democratic National Convention clashes. Clark said changes were only deletions from the text related to ongoing investigations and that the summary was not altered. The Tribune alleged Daniel Walker rewrote the summary. Clark countered that the department did not modify any factual statements.
