The board chairman would receive $6500 a year and the other two members | would get $6000. The bill is based upon findings of | the welfare investigating committee | headed by Rep. Earl Teckemeyer in 8 two-year ‘study. Meanwhile, two more organiza-| tions adopted resolutions opposing the Teckemeyer bill. The Indianapolis chapter of the American Association of Social Workers condemned the welfare] shakeup plan as “detrimental to good public welfare administration.”
