Boston city councilors want school police officers in the city to be able to maximize their pensions at age 60 instead of 65.
All 13 city councilors this week supported the change, which city officials said would increase the city's budget in fiscal year 2021 by $375,000 and the actuarial accrued liability to $1,272,000. But they described those figures as tiny compared to the city's overall pension expenditures.
The Vermont Senate has passed a proposed amendment to the state's constitution that would enshrine legal abortion as defined by the 1973 U.S. Supreme Court decision Roe v. Wade.
Senators approved the measure 28-2 at 2:58 p.m. Thursday, April 4, well more than the two-thirds majority needed.
