Retired Anne Arundel County employees may no longer face reduced pensions when returning to work

The Anne Arundel County Council passed a bill Monday night eliminating reductions in pensions paid to county employees who retire and later return to work for the county. Introduced by Pete Smith, a Democrat representing Severn, the bill will eliminate reductions to a county employee’s retirement benefits if the person comes back to a different job 90 or more days after retiring.
