Committee Votes Down Raises for Teachers and State Workers
The House Ways and Means Committee issued unfavorable reports on bills to raise retirement pay for teachers and state employees. A guaranteed retirement allowance would equal 170th of final average compensation per year of service, costing $572,300 for teachers and $12,000 for state workers. Gov Tawes included funds in the supplemental budget if revived. Bills for increased supplemental pensions for those who retired under old systems remain alive, costing $226,910 for teachers and $80,820 for state employees.
Tawes Seeks 2.4 Million More in General Funds
Maryland Governor Tawes proposes 2.4 million in supplemental general funds, including 464,104 for local library aid and 450,000 for Maryland's World’s Fair participation. The package also adds 2,500 for the state schools chief and 1,200 for the State Board of Censors chair, with half directed to retirements and raises for officials.
