dissenting.
I respectfully dissent. As I stated in nay 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.
