Gov Price Daniel urged the 1962 63 legislature to appropriate 376 045 734 from general revenue, a 54 677 563 rise over current spending. Agencies sought 427 011 894, but Daniel’s proposal covers core operations and growth, notably in education hospitals and welfare without any teacher pay raises. The total including all funds runs 2 476 363 614, up from 2 362 052 471 in 60 61. Daniel notes state growth requires higher funding to maintain services. He plans to compare with Budget Council recommendations before floor debates.
