Welfare spending in Texas raises cap on AFDC benefits
An editorial explains Texas constitutional limits on welfare payments under AFDC, current caps at 85 dollars per month for a one child parent, and a statewide limit of 280 million dollars. It discusses Amendment No 2 replacing these with a one percent budget ceiling, questions future spending as Medicaid and food stamps could shift to states, and urges voters to weigh limits against aid for needy children. It invites public opinion to Senator Bill Sarpalius.
