Justices Pensions Under Fire In Pennsylvania Debate
In Harrisburg a House bill granting district justices pensions up to 160 percent of final salary triggers criticism from Huggins & Co. actuaries. They warn a 180 percent payout, possible after 30 years service, would be costly at about 4.2 million dollars yearly and may be unpopular with taxpayers.
