Welfare costs push Texas budget and federal aid requests
The State Board of Public Welfare projects a two year rise of 60.9 million in state welfare spending and 71.1 million in federal matching funds for 1974 75. Commissioner Vowell cites federal cutbacks and tighter regulation as causes while Sarazan notes higher medical care costs for beneficiaries. Even with the increase, benefits face at least a temporary cut next fall. Demand for welfare funding is tied to constitutional caps and prior voter rejections on aging blind and disabled aid.
