NEW HAVEN, CT (AP) -- Some New Haven aldermen are backing a ``bad boy clause'' as a city ordinance to punish city employees convicted of crimes by cutting off pension benefits.
The Board of Aldermen's Finance Committee is recommending the proposal under which the city would revoke or reduce pension payments and post-retirement medical benefits.
The idea was first proposed more than a year ago, but has gained much support in recent weeks.
Recently, former police Lt. William White was awarded a $91,000 annual pension as well as medical benefits although he has been convicted of corruption after an investigation by the FBI.
The Police Union president says the bad boy clause should be part of contract negotiations, not city law.
