Bristol Teachers Seek Pension Liberalization to Raise Benefits
The Bristol Teachers Retirement Fund board agreed to urge the General Assembly to liberalize the pension law. If passed, retirees from 1948 or earlier would see annual pensions rise from 1600 to 2100 dollars, and from 300 to 500 dollars for those retired before 1948. Local funds offset state pensions, so changes depend on state action.
