Pension Bill Debated as Boston Teachers Seek Pension Plan
A pension bill and a nurse registration proposal faced hearings in the Legislature. The Storrow plan would raise Boston taxes to fund a $180 annual addition plus the existing $180 retirement, while Towle proposed a city pension fund paying up to $4000 or one half of the last five years’ average weekly salary. The crowded hearing aimed to move the pension bill to the next General Court.
