Rankin Plans a New Bonus Bill for Veterans
Washington AP Rankin after steering through a 65 billion veterans pensions bill now prepares a bonus measure likely costing about the same. It would pay veterans 3 dollars per day of service and 4 dollars for overseas time up to a 5000 dollar maximum, with estimates ranging from 14 to 60 billion. Some committee members doubt another major benefit is possible this session while Rankin seeks action, aiming to offset existing GI benefits by deducting from adjusted compensation. The move faces opposition from Rep Huber and echoes Senate labor committee activity on similar measures.
