Denton pension decision looms for Pinckneyville board
Pinckneyville Police Pension Board plans a 2:30 p.m. Monday meeting at city hall to review attorney Dennis Orsey's research and recommendations on whether former Police Chief Tom Denton keeps his original pension. If changes are possible, a hearing would be scheduled later to hear all evidence. The 2003 deal granted a $28,580 longevity bonus and based the pension on the bonus plus the $42,328 salary, a question the board raised soon after.
