Md. commission to vote on pension recommendations

ANNAPOLIS – A state-appointed commission is voting on changes to Maryland’s ailing pension system on Monday to be included in a report of recommendations to the state legislature.

The commission is expected to vote on cuts to state employees’ health benefits and a plan to shift teacher pension costs onto counties, among other decisions. 

Maryland’s pension system is $33 billion underfunded, after the state paid less into the system than it owed over the last 10 years.
