New Veterans Bonus Bills Are Brewing in Annapolis
In Annapolis on January 21 the General Assembly session opened with two new veterans bonus bills in the works. Dels. Milanicz and Silk of Baltimore First seek the 1953 version of the perennial measure by having the Department of Legislative Reference draft the exact wording of last session. Sen Phoebus warns of a rewritten 1953 bill to modernize financial provisions, with parts subject to attorney general clearance before next week. His prior year bill proposed an $89 million bond issue funding bonuses up to $900 for qualified veterans, financed by a tax on alcoholic beverages.
