Rhode Island Assembly Near Halfway Point In 1964 Session
The 1964 Rhode Island General Assembly reaches mid session with progress limited on key bills. Gov Chafee pushes a $2 million annualized pay plan, signs a $1.7 million raise for state workers but funds over two years shift to next year. Vocational education funds gain federal match, while social welfare medicare plans stall in committee. Budgets, bond issues for recreation and natural resources face scrutiny as tax and revenue decisions loom.
