Boothe, Fiscal Foe in 81,
Praises Stanley Budget

The Senate baked at the
House action, taking the stand
the money was due the taxpayers
under the Byrd Automatic Tax
Reduction Act, which provides
for surplus revenues to be cred
Iited as payments toward State
income tax bills.
A compromise finally was
reached whereby some 50 mil
lions Of the surplus was ear
marked for needs.
The Governor has recommend
ed repeal of the Byrd act by the
new Legislature.
Notes Projects
Mr.. Boothe noted the new
budget proposes a record $62.-
415,414 for construction projects
of agencies and institutions and
that part of the funds would
come from an anticipated July
surplus of $40 million.
II think the last persons to
criticize the new budget should
be those who fought so hard to
use SURPRISES for building needs
at the last session." Mr.. Boothe
said.
Previously, State Senator Stu
art Carter of Botetourt-anoth-
Ier 1854 diSsident on finance
had indicated he would support
the Governors budget recon-
mendations.

sound and progressive budget
His remarks indicated the Leg

stormy battle over appropriation

fruitful budget that will take a
real step toward meeting Vir-

Mr.. Boothe.

amendment in 1854 that stirred
up a closing fight in the Legis-

in continuous session for sc
hours before final adjournment
Mr.. Boothe, then a member OF
the House, was the leader of a
Young Turk bloc that captured
control Of the Lower Chamber
from the administration. The
bloc amended the budget bill to
appropriate 81 million in sur
pluses for State needs.
