FOIA Request to Bucks County Retirement Fund Regarding Pension Rosters on September 20, 2024.
In our continuous effort to provide comprehensive and accurate news coverage on local governmental affairs, we at Central Bucks Today have sent a request for records under the Pennsylvania Right to Know Law. The request specifically targets information about the pension rosters of all active and retired employees in the Bucks County Retirement Fund for the year of 2023.
The data fields requested include last name, first name, middle name, date of birth, employer name, employment start date, employment end date, salary, compensation type, amount, year, process date, last disbursement amount, disbursement frequency and 2023 contribution amount.
As a media organization committed to transparency and accountability in public institutions, we believe access to these public records is essential for fulfilling our professional responsibilities. We are confident that this information will enable us to continue providing detailed reports on local government affairs that serve the public interest.
We have also applied for a fee waiver as a media professional involved in gathering and reporting news to the public. This step ensures that financial constraints do not hinder our pursuit of transparency and accountability in local governance.
We await the response from Bucks County Retirement Fund regarding our request. As always, we remain committed to delivering timely and accurate news coverage on matters of public interest.
