PENSION REDUCTION
TO THE OAKLAND COUNTY BOARD OF COMMISSIONERS
Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentlemen:

pension, which is reduced by income received by others, such as Social Security
payments received by the spouse, which action appears to be contrary to the intention

entitled to a pension in his or her own right shall suffer any reduction therein as a result
of income received by another person, as appears to be proposed in S. 2541 and H. R,
13346.
BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED that copies of this resolution be forwarded to the
Senators from Michigan and the Representatives of the 18th and 19th Congressional
Districts.
The Legislative Committee, by Marguerite Simon, Chairman, moves the adoption
of the foregoing resolution.
Moved by Simson supported by Kasper the resedution be adopted.
Discussion followed.
A sufficient majority having voted therefor, the resolution
was adopted.
