CONCORD, N.H. (AP) — A court date has been set to hear arguments in a lawsuit over changes to New Hampshire's public pension system.

A coalition that includes the association sued last week to stop the state from charging workers more toward their pensions. The New Hampshire Retirement Security Coalition also wants to stop the Legislature from interfering with the pension system board's ability to set employers' rates.
