Bill > H5055

This bill authorizes the city of Boston to provide certain death benefits for Pamela Thompson, the widow of Anthony Thompson, a former Boston firefighter who died while performing his duties. Specifically, the bill requires the Boston Retirement Board to pay Pamela Thompson a lump-sum payment equal to Anthony's accumulated retirement deductions, as well as an annual pension equal to the salary he would have received had he continued as a Boston firefighter. The bill also allows Anthony's surviving children to be eligible for original appointment to the Boston Fire Department.
