City Pension Plan Vote Set for July 2 in Long Beach
Long Beach council moved a pension plan election to July 2 after a public hearing on retirement options for about 2800 municipal workers. The state plan option drew most support, while a local $100 monthly city-funded proposal was deemed unsound. Discussion covered prior service reductions and the impact on retired employees, with residents asking when taxpayers will receive pensions.
