The Board of Public Works looked at next fiscal year's income estimates as it prepares to trim the 1966-67 budget requests. Gore projects $183.3 million in general revenue, with Robertson suggesting up to $190 million. Smith warned a rise of $3 to $4 million is possible. The board adjourned to travel to Madison, while Smith sought detailed agency spend data, travel costs, and a fuller report on the motor vehicle pool and new cars totaling $411,600. He also questioned Welfare’s call for 282 more social workers at $4.18 million to qualify for federal matching funds, noting doubt the department could hire that many in one year.
