Leesville to Join LMA Suit Against State

The Leesville City Council voted to joint a lawsuit filed by the Louisiana Municipal Association against the state to contest mandated increases in the firefighters retirement system, reports the American Press. "Council members adopted a resolution that said Leesville doesn't have control over the operation, investments or benefit structure of the retirement system. It added that the city is still being asked to increase its employer contribution from 8 percent to 25 percent of payroll as of July 1."
