📰 News we're reading
• Kulpmont Borough Police Pension Plan (paauditor.gov) — Kulpmont Borough's police pension plan has passed a state compliance audit overall, but auditors flagged one recurring problem: the plan document still lacks the military service credit required by state law. Borough officials have acknowledged the issue and say they will revise the pension rules, a change that could affect current and future police retirees in Kulpmont.
