Police and Fire Pension Fund Seizure Sparks Fight
In Erie and across the state, lawmakers push a bill to convert public pension assets into a federal social security fund. Opponents say the measure would compel 81,000 police firemen teachers and state workers to surrender about 147 million dollars of retirement and savings funds to federal debt security programs. The bill, introduced last August by Senator Robert W. Wissen, is before the Senate Private Committee and would affect thousands of public school employees and other public workers statewide.
