Common Councillors Shy Away From Joining Pension Board

Pension Board trustee Bill Buckley says there has been a vacant spot on the board which is supposed to be filled by a member of Common Council but no one appears anxious to step into the breach.

Councillor Bruce Court is a Pension Board member and can understand why complaining he gets yelled at when he's at the mall and at a Sea Dogs game, a retired police officer started cursing him with the accusation thaht he, somehow, lost the pension money.

Buckley also points out it costs virtually the same to fly from Saint John to St. John's or Vancouver as it does to San Diego.
 
He was responding to Common Council's vote the other night to restrict the travel of Pension Board trustees to within Canada.
