Carlin Eyes Budget Consistency to Time Higher Ed Aid
Kansas House minority leader Rep. John Carlin says higher education funding in 1976 hinges on Gov. Bennett’s conservatism in other budget areas. He notes potential trade offs between salary boosts and new positions, and stresses merit-based pay must be shown with data and communication to lawmakers. Carlin will lead Democrats as minority chief, aiming for a robust, independent review of proposals.

He urged President Ford to sign the bill, which would keep price controls through March 1979 and roll back oil prices from about 10.50 to 7.66 per barrel.
