Beauchamp cites progress toward disaster declaration for storm damage
Rep. Jack Beauchamp says areas of Franklin and Anderson counties may be declared disaster areas after the August storm that damaged crops and homes in Princeton and surrounding districts. He notes FHA farm loan aid should be available, SBA homeowner aid requires 25 homes with 40 percent uninsured damage, and final declarations hinge on November reports and Gov. Hayden’s next steps.

Welfare officials fix budgeting error risking funding cuts
State welfare officials led by Schalansky say a July 1986 budgeting mix up created a phantom 341000 in Community Service Block Grants included in the 11.2 million allocated to 17 area offices for mental retardation, mental illness, and domestic violence programs. The funds, blended across 21 SRS budgets, were spent but not present in final tallies, delaying the impact until Jan 1 1988.
