Texas lag in federal aid returns despite tripling since 1966
Comptroller Bob Bullock cited a state analysis showing federal aid to Texas state and local governments has more than tripled since 1966, yet Texans receive 82 cents per dollar of income tax appropriations. He noted 41 other states get higher returns, citing low state and local tax effort, lower unemployment, and Texas independence from federal programs. Mainland Communities United Fund drive reached 34.8 percent of its $132,118 goal at its first meeting. Monsanto and Amoco Texas Refinery led Industrial Division contributions with 33374 and 33484 respectively, with a total six-plant goal of 87314. Galveston County Johnson Space Center workers contributed 22693.06, already surpassing its goal. La Marque has 2172, Texas City 2344, with overall drive about flat versus last year. Next reporting session is Oct. 5.
