Pension boosts debated as KPERS shortfall looms
Calvin Singleton a Nickerson school administrator who retired in 1992 told a legislative committee that some pensioners including himself were shortchanged on the 15 percent 1993 boost. The Joint Committee on Pensions heard from education associations while noting KPERS unfunded liability remains about 1.376 trillion after a 68 million reduction. Singleton said his pension rose only 7.7 percent in 1993 due to a $200 cap, far below the 14.5 percent average.
