‘Scathing’ audit of Hampden County retirement board referred to state attorney general, inspector general and Ethics Commission

AGAWAM — The commission charged with oversight of the state’s public pensions has sent a recent audit of the Hampden County Regional Retirement System to several enforcement agencies for review, according to letters obtained by The Republican.

The letters show the Public Employee Retirement Administration Commission voted Feb. 10 to forward the audit to Attorney General Maura Healey, Inspector General Glenn A. Cunha and State Ethics Commission Executive Director David Wilson.

“Our staff is available to your office at your convenience for consultation and further documentation,” said each letter, signed by John Parsons, the commission’s executive director.
