Huge Education Budget Push in Pennsylvania Legislature
Harrisburg reports a $600 million education budget for 1955 to 1957 despite tax stalemate. Democratic leaders face caucus revolt over a $411 million income tax and uncertain House approval. Polen plans to back education bills, covering public and vocational schools and later state universities. The package includes over $426 million for teacher salaries, but the House remains unable to achieve the required votes.
