Why They Were Dropped by Pension Authorities in Chicago
A Chicago agency purge followed a national review of pension rolls uncovering 560 names of deceased or remarried pensioners. Col. McLean cites pursuit of fraud across agencies, with rigorous examination revealing improper payments totaling over 20,000 dollars. The process aimed to remove ineligible names and prevent further fraud while asserting it was a duty, not punishment.
