Pension Reform Debate in House Committee of the Whole
The Cincinnati Enquirer reports in Washmeron April 10 that during markup of the Legislative Appropriation bill McMahon offered an amendment to repeal biennial pension examinations and vetoed purses against dropping pensioners from rolls. The bill also proposed using $10,000,000 of legal tender reserves to pay pension arrears, sparking a clash with Garfield over new legislation and the goal of resumption of specie payments. The amendment was defeated but an important provision allowing redemption of fractional currency in Treasury funds was added.
