Pensions Cost More Than Active Pay
The Pentagon will spend more on pensions for retired personnel this year than the Army pays to all active duty soldiers, with pension costs rising from 1.4 percent of the defense budget in 1962 to 8.2 percent in 1977. By GAO estimates, pensions may top 9 billion next year and reach 10 billion the following year, potentially hitting 30 billion by 2000. The system links pensions to active pay, swelling as forces shift to an all volunteer force. reforms are debated but unlikely to cut current retirees' benefits.

Clay Countyahoes Prison Charge Before Court
Clay County officials voted to bill the state $4 a day for each state prisoner held in the county jail. Liberty joins in a lawsuit with Jackson Green Louis counties and the city of Louis to challenge payments. The law caps payments at $8 a day or 75 percent of daily cost, whichever is higher, and counts only feeding costs under state interpretation. Brant says the state will pay $3.25 a day and seeks a court decision on what constitutes a state prisoner and the total imprisonment cost.
