An attorney for a former Lynn MA library board member with a spotty attendance record argued yesterday that his client had no obligation to attend board meetings in order to earn pension credit.
The attorney made the argument to the Lynn retirement board, which is attempting to rescind the pension of 60-year-old Linda Bassett of Marblehead, and recover about $20,000 in payments she has received.
Bassett applied for a pension in 2002 based in part on her volunteer service on the Lynn public library Board of Trustees in the 1980s. But records checked by the Globe last month showed that she last attended a meeting in March 1984, even though she claimed credit through September 1986, two years and five months after her last meeting. Boston Globe reports.
