Pension Grab Alleges Erie Home Withholds Soldiers’ Funds
Inmates of the Soldiers and Sailors Home at Drie Pennsylvania petitioned State Senator Gibson to press Governor Tastings for an investigation into pension money allegedly seized by Erie trustees. They claim about 100 inmates lose roughly 402 dollars monthly since 1885, via a rule forcing excess pension funds into the home treasury. The petition asserts no state law authorizes such forfeiture and accuses the home treasurer Lewis Wagner of diverting funds for relief of relatives. The governor said he would start a full inquiry.
