Rockefeller seeks 1962-63 budget over 2.6 billion
Governor Rockefeller asked the Republican Legislature to approve a record 1962-63 budget of more than 2.6 billion dollars, saying revenue from existing levies will be sufficient to meet future needs. He argued higher taxes rescued the state from fiscal irresponsibility and ruled out a tax cut this year. Democrats countered that education funding was inadequate and city needs go unmet, while some Republicans favored relief though plan stood for approval with few changes.
