Pension Board trustee Bill Buckley of the Canadian Union of Public Employees argues not all of those legal fees are because of the lawsuit.
He told the court it was launched to stop what he calls the slander... It's not about money... It's about knowing we're not crooks.
Buckley also argues the city doesn't have a Cadillac pension plan and testified no one suggested reducing benefits or switching to a defined contributions plan and Ferguson's lawyer Rod Gillis pointed out most of the pension board members are receiving or will be getting city pensions.
