Building Appropriation Eroded By Delays In Texas
An eight month delay in naming architects for the Texas state finance building eroded the original 4.7 million appropriation, with inflation shrinking purchasing power and the size cut to about 230000 square feet though 5.5 million was allotted. The Legislative Budget Board recommends reorganizing the commission and adjusting several agency appropriations including higher education and welfare measures. An added proposed item is 900000 for a Mountain Creek Lake state park.
