Pension Roll Battle Tests Authority Over Police Pensioners

Loraes Kenney, a retired officer, is cited in ruling debates about whether pensioners who regain disabilities or fail to appear before the beard can be dropped. Commissioners West and Macfarland defend broad authority under new law, while Sinclair and others question scope.
