GiLLIOM’S RULING OPENS WAY FOR BUDGETCONTROL Opinion Gives Legislature Power to Make Specific Appropriations. Attorney General Arthur L. Gilliom’s opinion submitted late Monday to the budget advisory/committee, holding that all State revenues except thd common school, fire marshal’s and teachers’ retirement fund can be placed in the general fund, opens the way for . complete control of expenditures of State departments through the budget system.

Only $10,000,000 has been under the legislative control thus far.
