Hidden Ball Trick Echoes In Pension Bill Debate In Pennsylvania
Senator Hardy Williams proposed a public school course in practical politics while the Senate amended and passed an outside-district judges pension measure 85 to 13. The change would remove the $12,000 ceiling, raise potential pensions for senior members, compute retirement pay from the two highest-earning years, and could yield about $1,000 monthly for long-serving members. After Thanksgiving the bill might reach conference committee or be shelved pending the Compensation Commission's findings.
