Barron Can Spend Lift Two Term Ban And Budget Control
The Barron proposal would lift the ban on a governor serving two consecutive terms and grant control over budget preparation. It would set up a retirement system for state employees and allow county governments and elected state officials including legislators to participate if desired. The House rejected a bill to raise retired teachers’ benefits by up to nine dollars monthly and add about 50 teachers to the program due to insufficient Senate votes to suspend rules. Senate conferees approved a cigarette tax increase mechanism and subject to budget constraints, while a proposed constitutional referendum on Sheriff term limits failed in the House. A plan to earmark 150,009 dollars for an old logging railroad in Pocahontas County as a tourist draw was redirected to the state parks program for use by the director of the new Department of Natural Resources.
