Stronger Pension Rules Sought by Ohio Senate Subcommittee
In Columbus June 30 a special subcommittee of the Ohio senate advanced eight suggestions to improve state aid for the aged and urged immediate consideration by the recodification committee. It recommended studying the division of aid, and the possible creation of a pension trust fund funded by annual allocations until the fund covers average yearly needs. Vice Chairman John Taylor urged setting aside a reasonable annual amount for old age pensions while spending only that fund’s balance each year. Current revenue for pensions comes from a $1-a-gallon liquor tax and liquor department profits.
