The constitution allows increases
in budget totals of only five per-
cent each biennium unless ap-

houses OF the legislature.
The drastic SlaShes under failure

While the assembly rules declare
that only Al votes are necessary
to concur in senate amendments,
department of finance officials
said it would be necessary to adopt
a special rule requiring 81 votes
for concurrence to avoid being
placed under the five per cent
limitation, even if the senate
