More importantly, he has ruled that the city’s pensioners can receive a haircut to their monthly payments, although it will be subject to the Court’s oversight and care must be taken to see that it is kept to an absolute minimum.

This decision, while bad for municipal pensioners across the country is a lifeline for the taxpayers.
