This vote was on whether to kill an amendment by Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., that would have increased educational benefits for military veterans from $1,100 per month to $1,500 per month. It also would have required 12 years of service for the maximum benefit of $2,000 per month, with increases tied to the consumer price index. Additionally it would have allowed National Guard and Reserve members to transfer their education benefits to their spouses and children. The amendment was offered to a bill that would extend collective bargaining rights to public safety employees in states where that is currently prohibited. |
