Ray Asks No Cost IPERS Benefit Hike
Gov Robert Ray proposed a 16 percent boost in IPERS monthly benefits for current and retired public employees at no cost to them or taxpayers. He cited strong interest earnings from IPERS funds, including $8.04 million in 1968 and an estimated $5.95 million for 1969, to fund the increase. The plan would affect about 110,000 active and 13,070 retirees, with retirees since 1953 set to gain a 1 percent pension rise, and some discussion of lifting the earnings ceiling for future contributions.

President Nixon ordered substantial last minute budget reductions to avoid seeking major new taxes in 1970. Press Secretary Ziegler said the plan could balance the budget by spending cuts, tax hikes, or a mix, with the aim to protect the economy and curb rising prices.
