Governor vetoes teacher pay raise and sick leave bills
Governor Connally vetoed two bills affecting Texas teachers amid a broader veto of duties for Bexar County district courts. The paid sick leave measure would have granted five days annually, and a separate bill would let teachers with private school experience add years to retirement credits at their own expense. The Texas State Teachers Assn. backed the measure, but lawmakers projected a $4 million cost over two years. Connally argued state financed sick leave was unnecessary and urged the education committee to study the issue.
