A ruling could come as early today on a civil lawsuit against the Utah State Retirement board by 21 sheriffs and police chiefs trying to keep receiving retirement benefits and to continue working. Third District Judge Jay Banks heard arguments from attorneys on both sides about the controversial retirement benefit, which is scheduled to end Wednesday. The suit is based on a 1983 amendment to the state retirement law that allows sheriffs and police chiefs to exempt themselves from the state retirement system, keep their jobs and collect pensions. Lawmen around Utah have used the amendment to exempt themselves and begin receiving pension payments. The 1985 Legislature amended the law and required the lawmen to quit their jobs in order to Utah liquor enforcement officials are investigating a Salt Lake City bakery accused of serving cakes that are a little too potent. A customer of the Upper Crust complained about bakery owner Stewart Jacobson's special recipe in his mocha bourbon sponge cake, and agents from the state Narcotic and Liquor Law Enforcement Agency are looking into possible liquor law violations. Jacobson says until the matter is resolved, he will boil a flavoring solution he puts on the cake to evaporate all the alcohol from the bourbon he uses in the recipe. Narcotic and Liquor Law Enforcement Agency Field Supervisor James Gillespie says one of his agents investigated the complaint and has an appointment with the county attorney. The issue is whether the bourbon-spiked cake violates state liquor laws. Gordon Roberts, attorney for the law officers, said the state had a contract with each of the lawmen who opted to leave the retirement program and that passing a new one does not alter an existing contract. "There's noting in the contract at that time to say they had to leave their employment in order to receive benefits," Roberts said. a "They (legislators) are adding new term to the contract and you can't do that. Where you work or if 1983 you work was not part of the contract."
