Protests Over Justices Pay Raises Mark State Senate Session
Debate centered on raising retirement pay for supreme court and court of appeals justices to 7000 and 6500 dollars respectively.

The House and Senate both overrode the governor’s vetoes by wide margins and adjourned after approving over 40 bills including bid procedures, higher jury bailiffs pay, longer income tax statute, and armory bonds for ROTC units. A Dunas resolution urged UN reform toward a federal world government with enforcement powers.
