Gary Vows No Law To Cut Welfare For Aged In Oklahoma
Oklahoma Governor Raymond Gary told about 250 elderly residents that the Legislature will not enact laws reducing welfare checks or hindering the hospital plan. The meeting, at the Senate chamber balcony, was called by Oral L. Fox of Welfare Federation Inc. The group opposes exempting feed and seed from the state sales tax used to fund welfare. Gary proposed a one year exemption for feed and seed starting January 1 with a $500,900 reserve fund to cushion the program. The hospital plan, to begin July 1, calls for equal state and federal funding of $3 per person monthly for welfare recipients.
