Rotenberry Plans Ballot Petition Test for Pension Act
Rotenberry seeks to validate the pension act petition with a ballot-title test after Arkansas Supreme Court precedent. He aims to collect 30,000 to 40,000 signatures by the July deadline, with about 35 already filed and 15,000 required to place the measure on the ballot. The plan uses 40 percent of the sales tax plus liquor tax and racing and vending taxes to fund pensions, with any remaining sales tax going to the general fund. Officials anticipate 40,000 to 50,000 pensioners and monthly payments around 230 to 400 dollars, subject to tax revenue. The pension program would rely on federal grants to reach 4 to 5 million annually to start.
