Voters in Texas say "no" to firefighter pension

From the Bay City Tribune:

A firefighter pension plan was defeated by a 6-to-1 margin, as Bay City voters rejected it and two other proposed charter amendments Saturday.

Vote totals were 185 for and 1,212 against Proposition 1, directing city officials to join the Texas Statewide Emergency Service Retirement System by Oct. 1, to provide a pension and disability plan for volunteer firefighters.
