Large Crowd Fills City Hall to Debate Macon Police and Fire Pension

Former Macon Police and Firemen filled city hall Monday afternoon, seeking answers about the proposed changes to their pension plan. After nearly three hours of debate, the pension board tabled the changes until all parties can get on the same page.

This pension fund is the livelihood for more than 1300 retired police and firemen they don’t draw social security so this money sustains many of them.

After the IRS informed the city it needed to comply with modern standards back in January of 2011, the city made a number of changes and sent those to the IRS for analysis.
