After the City reduced Plaintiffs’ health insurance emoluments under the City’s pension plan, Plaintiffs brought suit claiming that they were entitled to greater health insurance emoluments than those being provided to them. The trial court rendered judgment for the City. The Supreme Court reversed in part, holding that the City improperly reduced the health insurance emoluments of the plaintiff widows but not those of the plaintiff retirees. Remanded.
