Dallas Pension Fund Board votes to resume DROP checks

“I don't blame anyone who took advantage of the DROP incentive. Those who did so were not greedy, irresponsible. You were not reckless,” he said. “You were simply taking advantage of an opportunity that frankly, never should have been offered to you."

But the video did not go over well with retirees. To save the fund, the mayor proposed what is known as a "claw back.” It would get back the interest it already paid to retirees by cutting their pension checks. The move would save $750 million.

Earlier this month, police and fire fighters rejected the pension fund's plan. The fund director said they are going to be working off of the city's proposed plan. And to get rid of that controversial interest claw back provision, they will need to find $750 million some other way.
