Blanchard Wins First Round For Tech Medical School
Senate approves by 21 to 7 a minority report restoring the Lubbock Texas Tech medical school bill to its original form. The measure earlier was rewritten by a state affairs subpanel to block funding from general revenue. Senate action came as House Speaker Gus Mutscher pursued a one year budget plan amid possible veto by Gov. Preston Smith. The Senate must still vote on the Tech bill in its original form.
