Excerpt:
The board of the $62 billion Pennsylvania public school pension system on Friday hired a pair of law firms to look into what the fund is now calling a “misstatement” in its profit reporting.
The Anglo-American law firm Womble Bond Dickinson will investigate what the board had previously called an “error,” while Philadelphia-based Morgan Lewis will check the math and tax issues.
The mistake may have wrongly spared teachers a potential hike in their pension payments while simultaneously passing that burden onto taxpayers.
