Missouri welfare bill rides late session to approval
The Legislature breathed a sigh as a major welfare and health appropriation bill cleared both houses at midnight after tense filibusters. Sen. Richard M Webster led stinging criticisms while Gov. Danforth resisted new tax increases. The measure would extend welfare funding and authorize home nursing care and early diagnostic screening for welfare children, without increasing nursing home payments. The bill, tied to about 158 million in federal funds, passed with final House approval amid debate over budget cuts and tax proposals.
