Opinion
The pension board’s January 2011 vote split 4-4, leaving Burge’s previously awarded pension in place. The Supreme Court held the Attorney General could not collaterally challenge that administrative decision in circuit court. The pension was administered by the Policemen’s Annuity and Benefit Fund, not paid directly by the City. The 4-4 vote left it in place, but no payment ledger through Burge’s September 19, 2018 death was opened.
