Solon pushes smaller GI Bill boost amid veto concerns

House Veterans Affairs Committee chair urges reducing the proposed 13.6 percent rise in educational benefits for Vietnam era veterans to eight percent. Rep. Dorn says eight percent is more reasonable and may avoid a veto, though the bill would raise single veterans’ payments from 225 to 250 dollars monthly and increase other benefits accordingly. The VA opposes any hike, but Dorn believes the bill could pass this year if 13 percent is avoided.
