Walker urges widespread budget cuts in 1974 plan
Governor Walker proposes a 7.02 million dollar budget for fiscal year 1974 starting July, cutting 617 million from current appropriations. He seeks 124 million more for K-12, 20 million more for colleges, and a 350 dollar per person tax relief for low and moderate income families for food and drugs Bureaus to slim down with staff reductions and reduced contracting. He argues public aid waste can be cut by better casework and fewer forms while holding line on spending and keeping welfare projected at about 1.43 billion. He also aims for a 29 million dollar property tax circuit breaker for the elderly and highway outlays jumping to 530 million in 1974.
