Legislature Not Stingy About Economic Benefits
Jefferson City ap reports the 1977 Missouri legislative session approved more than 10 percent of its 200 bills to raise pay, retirement benefits and other perks for officials from local to governor. The package costs about 9 million yearly, with many increases delayed until 1979 or later. Legislative pay boosts for lawmakers and top officials totaled 5.1 million, and conflict of interest reforms stalled after Senate filibuster. Government workers also gained raises and added health, retirement, and pension enhancements, including a $312 plus 2 percent raise for state employees and other targeted boosts for officers and teachers.
