REPRESENTATIVE Edwin K. Propst, who chairs the House Gaming Committee, said the first thing Gov. Ralph DLG Torres should do to immediately generate revenue is to collect the $8 million overtime that, according to the lawmaker, was âillegally paidâ to the cabinet members and other government officials about two years ago.
That amount of money, Propst, said will certainly boost funding for the retirees. My question is, is the administration going to collect that? He has been saying revenue-generating bills. Here s one: Collect that $8 million, Propst said, referring to the governor.
He noted that the most recent revenue-generating measure that the governor approved increases fees imposed on businesses.
