Pension Ordinance Changes Not Substantive

In a brief filed from the June 20, 2011 Ann Arbor city council meeting, The Chronicle mis-characterized the nature of the initial approval given to changes to the city’s pension ordinance. While the city is contemplating the changes described in the brief, those that were actually given initial approval at the council’s meeting involved technical revisions. For example, the phrase “three years” was revised to read “36 consecutive months.”

The Chronicle acknowledges the mistake and has corrected the original brief.
