Budget Cuts Trim Docking Plan Across Agencies
The House Ways and Means Committee sliced Gov. Docking’s budget by over 17.5 million, including a 5.22 million general fund cut to welfare, limiting welfare to 1971 levels and potentially reducing up to 20 million in federal funds. Highway funding dropped 12.29 million from the 1972 plan, with 550,000 approved for park road projects. Proposals for 40 million in new state revenue were floated, targeting tax and program adjustments, plus possible aid for teacher retirement and private college tuition, juvenile facilities, and nonpublic school secular studies.
