Ferguson's lawyer, Rod Gillis scoffed when Woods told the court the Pension Board knew what it's doing saying how can that be, considering the city's pension plan is running a deficit of 191 million dollars.
Woods also testified benefits have not been reduced but worker contributions into the pension plan have increased.
Ferguson also was concerned senior staff who receive city pensions would not recommend cutting benefits. Woods concedes the concern is legitimate but unfair.
Ferguson is currently the Town Manager of St. Stephen.
