Weaver's Budget Proposal Highlights University Cut
Weaver outlines a total appropriations request of 31,200,839.46 for the coming two years, about 900 thousand more than last session but far below former McMullen. He cuts the university request from 1,250,000 to 180,000 for new facilities, shifts 130,000 to a dormitory project, and argues for higher educational standards and efficiency to justify maintenance costs amid rising expenses.
