Cantrell Leads Fight Against Pension Amendment
Texas residents oust non residents from pension eligibility if the proposed constitutional amendment passes on November 13. Jim Cantrell of Princeton warns that removing residency and citizenship requirements would force cuts to current beneficiaries and attract claimants from other states and foreigners. He notes a 7 million dollar fund boost would not cover new claimants and urges Texans to oppose the measure. He cites his roles in agriculture and local banking and invites readers to request literature.
