Philadelphia City Council Sets Hearing Date For DROP Issue
PHILADELPHIA (CBS) – Nine months after Mayor Nutter called for the elimination of the DROP pension perk, City Council is finally set to schedule a hearing on the issue. But its increasingly likely that they’ll tweak — rather than abolish — the controversial program.
A statement issued by the office of Council President Anna Verna says new legislation related to DROP will be introduced at the regular Council meeting of May 26th. Then, at some point during the week of June 6th, a hearing would be held on the new DROP bill, as well as Mayor Nutter’s original plan to abolish the program outright.
