Politicker NJ has a great story on pension abuse in Mercer County. Seems that Sheriff Kevin Larkin is receiving an $85,000 per year pension- for a job he's still doing, and getting paid $129K a year to do.
That's insane. That's unconscionable. Especially when Mercer County may have to layoff up to 125 people this year*.
And, apparently, the Hamilton Township administrator has been pulling a similar stunt- receiving a public pension and a salary for a public job.
Even if it is legal- and it sure sounds like it is- the wise move is to forgo the pension while you're still drawing from the public funds. Better still, make it illegal to do so.
*Including, possibly, yours truly or her coworkers. Full disclosure: I'm a county employee.
