House Defeats Move To Kill Benefit Hike
AUGUSTA The House defeated a bid to block a bill increasing workmen’s compensation benefits. Rep William Hardy argued the rise would put Maine ahead in benefits for injured workers. Rep Edward Miller said increases reflected higher living costs. The measure raises maximum weekly benefits from 35 to 39, total benefits for 500 weeks from 14,000 to 19,300, and survivor death benefits from 10,500 to 11,700. The House voted 75 to 58 against indefinite postponement, sending the enacted bill to the Senate.
