Governor urges balance with deficits and bonds in Texas plan
Gov Preston Smith tells lawmakers Texas can balance a 6.8 billion dollar budget without new taxes through deficit financing bond issues and federal welfare funding. The plan hinges on uncertain voter approval for bonds and doubtful federal welfare takeover. Proposals include welfare financing welfare programs for only months, a 450 million public school bond to be paid from school land income, and a constitutional amendment to create the fund and payoff plan. Additional items include deficit financing of 70 million for emergency aid to welfare with four fifths legislative approval, a 71 million tuition backed revenue bond for new colleges, and three more constitutional amendments on welfare ceiling water bond interest limits and a 100 million waste treatment aid fund. Smith seeks federal welfare funding takeover.
