Scott calls in $100 million state funds in Illinois
State Treasurer William J. Scott, citing concerns over the 1965-67 budget, moves to withdraw more than $100 million from bank deposits that require four months' notice. Governor Otto Kerner plans to unveil the new budget in about two weeks. Scott warns that if all administration programs proceed, banks may lack funds to meet demands. He says activating time deposits now preserves state financial responsibility. Some Budgetary Commission members note requests may total around $500 million, much for education, mental health, and public aid.
