Budget Battles Shape State Aid and Reforms in Special Session
In a special session the house halted a $3,250 contingency draw while the senate blocked extra funds for continuation. Legislation moved to restore $25,000 to agriculture and approved $11 million in two years for school aid, $3 million for secondary highways, and $29.801 million for other purposes. The session passed dozens of measures including shifting automobile license year to July 1, raising bus and truck rates, and granting broader road regulation. The conservation commission takeover of delinquent lands received final senate approval, along with $5 million bonds to retire the state deficit. Bills also reshaped public lands handling and county school and road fund transfers, and introduced two constitutional amendments on governor inauguration timing and poll tax eligibility. Municipal relief to Charleston was approved to help revenue-poor cities facing taxation shortfalls.
