Full Pension Cost Hit By King In Texas Estimate
Texas auditor Tom G. King estimated over 42 000 a year in additional revenue needed to fund state pensions for everyone over 65 at 15 a month. He warned the bill would push total state costs up more than 15 percent. King noted the 24 000 figure was a national average estimate and favored long term expansion. Governor-Elect Chattiel backs 30 a month, but federal law requires needs testing and matching funds only for qualified cases. Horse racing’s tax drop helped reduce receipts by 249.00, with 112 000 pensioners drawing 12.78 monthly, totaling over 1 500 000 by August 1941.
