Judge Issues Preliminary Injunction and Restraining Order Against City of St. Louis in Firemen’s Retirement System Case

By Daniel G. Tobben

A St. Louis judge has entered a preliminary injunction against the City of St. Louis in all matters relating to Board Bill 12. Board Bill 12 (Ordinance 69245 of the City of St. Louis) was passed by the Board of Aldermen and signed into law by Mayor Francis Slay to allegedly reform the firefighters’ pension plan. The Firemen’s Retirement System litigated this case because it strongly believes the City of St. Louis did not have the right to make the proposed changes under Missouri state law and based on both the Missouri and the U.S. constitutions.
