Rockefeller Budget Sparks Fire Over Size And Tax Hope
ALBANY New York Governor Rockefeller faces stern criticism as the 1962-63 budget at 2.6 billion dollars prompts calls for new or higher taxes. The Citizens Public Expenditure Survey decries the plan as continuing costly state operations. Lawmakers plan hearings February 14 and 15, with token cuts likely but budget approval in line with the proposal. Rockefeller cites 140 million in future revenues, including a Thruway loan repayment and earlier payment dates for business taxes. Concurrently NYC would get 482.5 million in state aid for the next year, an 11.7 million rise, while Wagner faces a politically motivated aid request. The governor also rejects legalizing and taxing off track betting.
