Reagan to Sign Bill Halting Pension Bonus Plan
Gov. Reagan said he will sign a bill erasing 5.7 million dollars in early pension bonuses for legislators, costing him at least 14 thousand dollars a year. The bill, approved after a special session, revamps pensions for the 63 year old governor and statewide officers, reducing his future annual pension from about 34 thousand to 19 thousand and ending retroactive cost of living increases. It also cuts retiring State Treasurer Ivy Baker Priest’s pension by about 7 thousand and eliminates immediate pension checks for lawmakers leaving office this year.
