Chaney warns GOP lawmakers overrode veto pay raise bill
Indiana Republican chairman Buena Chaney warned the GOP dominated legislature against overriding Gov Branin’s veto of a pay raise bill for legislators. He spoke at a Palm Springs governors conference as pre session talks began in Indianapolis. The measure would raise pay to 4000 a year with 50 monthly expense money and a future 6000 raise by November 1970. A simple majority could override.

Illinois Faces Record Economy In 1968 Outlook
CHICAGO AP The Illinois economy posted a record year in 1968 and shows strong momentum into 1969, based on a poll of 100 members of the Illinois State Chamber of Commerce Economic Development Committee led by Francis E. O Connor. Employment rose about 1 percent last year while unemployment held at 3 percent. The farm sector remained vigorous despite lower income and rising crop output and higher meat production. Prospects point to growth in machinery and equipment and potential effects from Vietnam War policy and tax changes. Pueblo, Colo is noted as the Pittsburg of the West.
