Skubitz Invests Well in Long House Pension Path
Washington AP says Rep. Joe Skubitz 16 years in Congress could rival the pensions of its two most senior members, Mahon and Poage, due to a 1939 start in the retirement fund. Pensions are 2.5 percent of average salary per year, capped at 80 percent of final pay or average, with final annuity set by years served and early salary factors. Skubitz plans to leave office in January 1979 unless he resigns after the election to gain seniority for his successor.

Legislative Highlights From The Kansas Assembly Actions
The House failed to report Carlin amendment on taxing residential property by a 10-10 tie. The Senate advanced a welfare hotline bill with posting requirements in medical facilities. The Senate also moved the Kansas Small Business Procurement Act to final roll call, while the House tentatively approved Carlin’s elimination of mandatory retirement age for most, save school staff. Governor’s Papers bill cleared the Senate and heads to the House. An Education panel leader noted the state may owe back $8 million in impact aid as a new school finance plan aims to restore funding.
