Mayors Advised To Cut Spending
Gov Bricker urges local governments to tighten belts and cut expenses to the bone as the only wartime financial remedy. He will not call a general session to divide a 13 252 000 surplus, saying the state faces fluctuating finances and potential 20 to 30 million dollar revenue losses this year. A session would be for war purposes if requested by the federal government. Legislative leaders oppose a special session and would not increase the 12 million annual sales tax funds for locals.
