Alabama Legislature Tackles Immediate Pay For Educators
Storm clouds over the Alabama legislature as lawmakers move to balance the budget with a measure to secure a $6,000,000 loan from the Reconstruction Finance Corporation to pay salaries of teachers and fund higher education. The plan involves issuing interest-bearing certificates secured by the Special Educational Trust Fund and tobacco tax revenues, with potential support from the governor and state officials. A companion tax bill would add a three-cent pint tax on cereal beverages to bolster fund intake, while other measures aim to curb salaries and establish a state comptroller to supervise funds.
