Governor Walker proposes reducing the distributive fund to $1.134 billion in fiscal 1976, still lifting aid to schools by $76 million over the current year. The plan preserves a long term goal of $1,260 per pupil but slows the rapid salary gains seen in recent years.
Gov. Walker proposes a six percent reduction in general revenue for fiscal 1976 with a carve out for welfare spending not to be cut below current levels. He would apply any savings to administrative costs while keeping welfare grants intact, arguing a full public aid cut could harm services and increase future costs.

The shift pressures residential rates as AT&T argues subsidies fund local service.
The telephone giant clashes with new entrants over private-line and toll markets as FCC shifts from monopoly regulation to fostering competition. Rate reforms, hi lo pricing, and interconnection debates fuel the fight with MCI and others.
