Missouri Governor, House clash over 1973 74 spending
Gov Bond and House Appropriations Chair Rep Jay Russell clash over 1973 74 budget figures. Bond cites $50 million overrun in new programs while Russell counters that the governor’s request was 56 percent higher than the prior administration. House has approved $721 million general revenue so far, with $3 million ahead of the governor’s recommendation. If all Bond’s requests pass, a $74 million general fund balance could remain. Additional bills total $12.3 million from state tax funds and must clear Senate review.
