No Pension Checks For 6th Straight Month

The City of Prichard is proposing electronic bingo to help with its financial crisis.

Retired city workers may or may not be in favor of it, but they would certainly welcome any funds they can get in their pension plan. You see, they haven't received a retirement check in 6 months.

Jerry Mosley is enjoying his home for now, but he still has mortgage payments to make. He thought that would be easy to do once he retired from the Prichard Fire Department, but unfortunately, he has not received a retirement check in months and he's not sure if he ever will again..

Mosely and dozens of others retirees will again be at Prichard City Hall on Thursday hoping for some good news. A bankruptcy hearing is scheduled for next week, and the retirees plan to be there too.

23 years 8 months. That's how long Butch Blake worked for the Prichard Fire Department. He's one of the dozens of retirees who continues to hope for the best, but he's not optimistic.

Prichard's next bankruptcy hearing is scheduled for Tuesday morning at 8:30.
