Hughes would expand full benefits to those under 60 and raise payments by up to 2 percent for all participants. Renters might claim a 15 percent tax credit on their annual rest, with homeowner benefits mirrored. The plan would be financed from a state surplus projected at 130 to 140 million dollars by next June 30, suggesting over taxation relief.
