Drew Peterson Tells Newsradio: My Retirement Sucks
CHICAGO (WBBM) -- Drew Peterson will have to make do with a little less per month than he may have been originally counting on from his police pension.
But Peterson tells Newsradio 780 this morning, "It is what it is."
Drew Peterson tells Newsradio 780 - "My retirement sucks."
Why?
"Why do you think?" Peterson asks. "The media in front of my house, it's not enabling my children to be children," he says.
Peterson is now getting the word that his police pension is less than what he may have originally believed. And he may get about 200 dollars less per month. About 58-hundred dollars compared to 6-thousand.
Instead of 30 years service, Peterson only has just over 29 years.
Richard Reimer is the attorney for the Bolingbrook Police Pension Fund.
"There may have been a misrepresentation on that. As far as who made the misrepresentation, I'm not going to comment on at this point in time. All I will tell you is, the reason that the pension is now going to be reduced is because Sergeant Peterson did not have the full 30 years of credible service we were led to believe he had."
Reimer is careful not to point a finger at Peterson.
Peterson tells Newsradio 780, "Two and a half percent (less) is not going to break me."
