Docking blasts school bill over sales tax funds
Gov George Docking warned that a June 2 12.5 million dollar sales tax distribution to local governments cannot occur if elementary school funding is drawn from the sales tax fund. Senate backed a Republican plan to shift about 28 million from the general fund to cover a 3 million plus deficit in elementary aid. Docking accused Republicans of trying to siphon general fund money via research department claims to push passage, while a state official warned this could leave the general fund insufficient to meet next month’s school aid bills. House Democrats proposed a plan to cover the shortfall and delay the 12.5 million distribution to May 1 1959 as part of a broader financing package.
