Carter budget slows aid to states and localities
State and local officials say Carter’s fiscal 1979 plan provides only a six percent rise in federal grants, not enough to cover unemployment, welfare costs, and urban needs. The NGA estimates the federal share of state and local spending would fall to 26.2 percent, with no offset for welfare or Medicaid.
