Social Security Insecurity Seen By Experts

It cites Martin Feldstein of Harvard, notes about municipal withdrawals, and warns that current rules may underpay or misallocate benefits while imposing higher future costs on the general public.

County groups plan detox program for drunks and workshop aid
County boards discussed a detoxification course for convicted drunken drivers under an agreement with IHR and the state's attorney. Futures Unlimited acting director John MacGlasson said a new executive director for the Sheltered workshop is near, while James Dennis resigns as contract procurer. Futures invoicing totaled 2700 for May and an estimated 2000 for June as four workshop workers found jobs. Rehabilitation director Kenneth Loving reported five job placements and seven more than planned, with enrollment at 62, seven above the target. The 708 Board asked IHR and Futures to submit tentative funding plans for the new fiscal year, with per program figures preferred. Mary Beth Taylor urged flexible, itemized budgeting. Taylor noted county services for the developmentally disabled include 37 in state institutions, five in shelter care homes, and 14 in skilled nursing facilities, and proposed a community living facility to improve rehabilitation without nursing care.

Senate defeats transit bill boosting suburban RTA
In Illinois Senate a bill aimed at strengthening funding for suburban areas of the six county Chicago region’s Regional Transportation Authority failed to reach the 30 vote threshold. Sen. Vince Demuzio defected to oppose the measure, denying passage and prompting talk of weekend sessions to wrap up the spring session. The bill would have redirected funds to suburbs and potentially ousted RTA chair Milton Pikarsky, drawing strong opposition from Chicago senators.
