To “set the record straight”, as thousands of telegrams deluged the | § statehouse from teachers protest-| ing the “inferences” of his budget message yesterday, the governor asserted: “lI told the general assembly In| my message yesterday that I felt| the state could reimburse local school units to the extent of $1500 a teaching unit.
