Concord Pensions: What Retirees Are Receiving
List unveiled as state legislators approve pension reform plan
About 1,900 former city and school employees in Concord are now receiving pensions, and some are collecting more than $100,000 a year.
The retirement compensation is part of a list posted by the San Jose Mercury News and other newspapers.
The list was unveiled as the state Legislature last week approved a pension reform bill that is now on Gov. Jerry Brown's desk. Among other reforms, the legislation raises the retirement age for most new employees from 55 to 67 to receive full benefits. It also eliminates so-called "double dipping" and caps the pensions of highly paid retired workers.
