Lynch files arguments to reduce Yashar pension

PROVIDENCE -- Attorney General Patrick Lynch today followed through on a pledge to reduce the pension of Traffic Tribunal Judge Marjorie R. Yashar, filing a motion for summary judgment in Superior Court.

Lynch went to court on April 5, asking a judge to reduce the pension from $120,310 to $86,650. Today, Lynch elaborated on arguments he made earlier in court.

The court administration included eight months of time that Yashar was on unpaid leave to push her years of service to 20 years. Those extra months qualified Yashar for a 25 percent increase in her pension.

The court will schedule a hearing after reviewing the motion.
