Legislature debates health fund and collective bargaining
The legislature considers funding a maternal health care program with potential spending details shaping negotiations with the House. House leaders aim to finish initial floor work on a collective bargaining bill, while some two days of debate last week left unresolved whether public school teachers may bargain collectively. Senate action looms on two House bills: a death penalty for premeditated murder and an $8 monthly increase in Aid to Dependent Children benefits, alongside a complete revision of the Criminal Code pending review. The Supreme Court agreed to review a lower court order allowing Dr. Benjamin Bock and associates to campaign at an Army base during the 1972 campaign.
