Pension Law Ruled Void by New York Justice
New York 32 State Supreme Court Justice Thomas L. Corcoran declared amendments to the New York City police pension law unconstitutional. The changes linked to required 30 years of service and retirements prompted by police activity with gamblers were found to impair contractual pension rights. Justice Corcoran ruled the provisions void and self-executing, noting they deny pension benefits for certain periods and protect none from legislative impact. The ruling follows police retirements spurred by a Brooklyn grand jury probe into police-gambler connections.
