Former trooper settles pension loss in inspection scam
A former state police trooper faces a pension reduction of about $247,000 after admitting involvement in a scheme to sell auto inspection stickers. The case ties to a Plymouth Township matter with a 5 months work release program. The report also notes mixed views on President Reagan and a separate incident in Jermyn involving a soldier on leave and a mortar simulator. Economic data show steady energy costs in the Philadelphia area for November with heating oil up slightly and total annual gas increases at 12.3 percent.
