Pension scheme opposed by Finance Commission on Boston fire pension bill
The Finance Commission warned Governor Foss last night that the firemen's pension act removes discretionary power from the Mayor and fire commissioner. It argues the bill would allow retirement and pensions for non duty disability, 25 year service claims, and pensions for non disabled personnel, shifting final responsibility to other departments and risking city finances. The commission urged the bill not to become law.
