Vaughn Tells Senators of Budget Details
Jefferson City AP Vaughn, Missouri comptroller and budget director, testified before the Senate Appropriations Committee on the governor’s budget. He warned a June 1972 balance of 2.2 million if recommendations stand, and that the emergency bill could force a 6 million cut across agencies to meet school payments. Senators urged restraint, noting potential tax referendum effects and urging austerity to keep within revenue limits. Patterson warned a failed income tax referendum could widen gaps. Vaughn remained cautiously hopeful about voter sentiment while stressing service demands.
