## Opinion text

McGINLEY, Judge,
dissenting.
I respectfully dissent. As I stated in my dissenting opinion in Shiomos v. State Employes’ Retirement Board, 128 Pa. Commonwealth Ct. 39 , 562 A.2d 969 (1989) “while public retirement benefits are deferred compensation, it does not necessarily, nor reasonably follow that ... retirement benefits are ‘compensation’ ” as that term is used in Article V, Section 16(b) of the Pennsylvania Constitution.
