Pension Proposal Has Foul Smell in Louisiana Editorial
The Louisiana Legislature considers a bill for free lifetime pensions for legislators and officials after four years in office and eight in appointed work. Seven senators sponsor, many allies of Governor Earl Long, with critics calling the move fiscally reckless. The piece argues this pension plan contradicts prior tax warnings and complains of political opportunism. It also notes safety awareness pieces and a general July to September rise in accidents, urging personal responsibility and safety measures.
