I look forward to working with all stakeholders this Session to tackle municipal pension reform! Any solution to municipal pensions costs will have to involve leaders of both political parties, the municipal unions and the financial services industry working together, said DePasquale, who audits municipal pension plans. “We are going to continue highlighting the problem that is out there,” he said. Reps. Seth Grove, R-York County, and Keith Greiner, R-Lampeter, referred to Scranton’s depleted pension funds in a recent op-ed piece on municipal pensions. “Is this really the direction we want to go?” they asked. Grove has sponsored legislation to curb municipal pension benefits for future paid police and firefighters. He said its adoption will ensure that municipalities are financially stable and that commuter taxes go away. Wolf doesn’t need an introduction to urban issues, said York Mayor Kim Bracey, a vice chairwoman of his transition team. “I know Gov.-elect Wolf gets it and understands it,” she said. m.citizensvoice/news/wolf-brings-urban-policy-expertise-1.1803039
