Correction
A story in Wednesday’s paper concerning pensions for public employees was incorrect. Here’s the way the story should have read: Two weeks ago, the Legislature voted to give a 25 percent pension increase to public employees who retired before July 2, 1980 and were eligible for benefits. Public employees who retired after that and were eligible for benefits received between a 2.27 percent increase and 15 percent increase, depending on their date of retirement.
