Budget Cuts Hit State Employee Pay Raises In Missouri
Jefferson City AP reports House Appropriations cuts erase Gov Hearnes proposed 7.26 percent salary boost for state workers, replacing it with a flat 300 dollar yearly increase plus raises for low salary merit staff. Budgets for the University of Missouri and state colleges are trimmed but higher than operating needs. Auditor Bond’s office also faces salary cuts. The House also kills a bill requiring a two cent aluminum beverage deposit. New bills propose eliminating the county superintendent role and extending worker compensation to all government employees. A constitutional change would expand charter city powers while lowering charter adoption thresholds. A tax proposal to replace the one year emergency income tax is discussed alongside possible sales tax increases. </s>
