He calls for reorganizing universities, funding enrichments from within, and major cuts including abolishing meat inspection and ports of entry programs to save millions.
Gov. Bennett recommends a fiscal 1977 general fund of 782.59 million, a 10 percent rise over this year’s general fund spending and 11.1 percent over the last legislature’s appropriation. The statewide budget would total 1.623 billion, up 8.5 percent from 1975 appropriations.
Federal funding details show declines in several areas for 1977 with education and rural water grants reduced, adult education slightly down, and new state administration of drug abuse funds. Notable changes include NDEA down from 651,541 to zero in 1977 and a shift of federal drug abuse programs to state management with 271,734 expected.
