Teacher pension costs likely won't be shifted to towns this year

The Connecticut legislature's Education Committee has taken language out of the proposed state budget which would have required local municipalities to pay for part of teacher pensions.  Ridgefield First Selectman Rudy Marconi told the Ridgefield Press that the he is relieved it's been removed this year, but expects it to be an issue again.  Estimates are that paying for part of the obligation would have cost Ridgefield 470-thousand dollars in the first year, 970-thousand the second year, and 1-point-4 million in the third year.
