Bigelow plans for pensions and ballot amendments
Two amendments by Herbert S. Bigelow would appear on the November initiative ballot. They propose 50 dollars monthly pensions for seniors 60 and over, 80 dollars for married couples, and making initiative of amendments possible by voters in any large city. Funding relies on real estate taxes and a slice of federal income tax. Ohio experts project large shortages, with estimates varying by whether incomes are deducted. The amendments are vague and raise potential reductions of existing funds to cover the subsidy.
