Legislature Focuses Attention On Budget
Oklahoma lawmakers, living on 3.33 a day, turn to a quarter billion dollar budget for state government for the next two years. The Senate House conference committee on appropriations meets at 10 a.m. in its first real budget session. The House aimed to submit a constitutional amendment lowering voter residence requirements while the Senate backs a re election measure for four stateOfficials. A Senate bond-issue proposal for a dental school and medical center capital improvements awaits action, funded by a new cigarette tax. Several moves to reconsider merit system changes kept the calendar crowded as lawmakers press work on appropriations.
