Williams drawing state pension
Friday, Jan. 30, 2004 | 11:06 a.m.
CARSON CITY -- Assemblyman Wendell Williams, D-Las Vegas, fired from his city job in Las Vegas, has now started to draw his pension from the state Public Employees Retirement System.
Dana Bilyeu, executive director of the system, confirmed today Williams will now receive his monthly checks for his 26 years of government service. She said she was not at liberty to detail the amount.
She said Williams was "still an active member" of legislative retirement system. He cannot draw pension from this system until he reaches 60 years old, said Bilyeu. Williams is 53.
During his career in government, Williams worked for the Clark County School District, the Clark County Community College and the city.
His 26 years in service would entitle him to 65 percent of the salary he drew in the last three years of employment. That was estimated at about $85,000. That would be about $52,000 in retirement. But that is reduced because he retired before age 60.
That would lower it to about $39,000, based on the formula used in these cases.
Williams was fired from his job in the city because of billing for his salary while he was in Carson City attending the Legislature.
