A fiscally conservative government watchdog is suing the city’s police pension fund for failing to release info on NYPD retirees.
The Empire Center has filed a petition in state Supreme Court that claims the city acted “unlawfully” in failing to provide an accounting of pensions of former NYPD cops.
“The Empire Center seeks to give New Yorkers a clearer view of how their state and local taxes are spent, including by providing information regarding pension benefits paid to retired government employees,” said the lawsuit filed on Thursday.
The organization has won previous battles to gain pension records of government agency retirees, which it posts on its SeeThroughNY.net database.
