It's not a problem Mayor Gerry Jennings does it too! -lol

HEARD ON THE DONUT SHOP

Did anyone notice in the Gazette that the position that DM held after termination was abolished and will not be filled???

What does that tell you.....and Paolino is coming to Rotterdam.....and DM will be the TC....nice combination.

Heard DM has already claimed the office for change and whatever else she pleases...

WHAT WILL THE STATE AUDIT         REALLY           FIND.....WHAT RECORDS WILL BE CONVENIENTLY MISPLACED AND

WHAT WILL BE AVAILABLE....??????

ONLY THE MONUNMENT EXPENSES ??????

THERE'S MORE TO THIS THAN MEETS THE EYE FOLKS.....AND UNFORTUNATELY, THE TRUTH WILL BE HIDDEN....

Quoted from DemocraticVoiceOfReason

He EARNED the pension and he was duly elected Mayor -- I don't see anything wrong with collecting his pension and receiving a salary for a job one is doing.   Others do it who worked in the private sector -- and then retire and run for political office.  BOTTOMLINE --- he EARNED the pension and he WILL EARN his salary .. case closed ... lets move on and discuss some REAL issues.

Working in a productive capacity in the private sector then moving into public office doesn't influence your private pension.  Public officials collecting public pensions can influence their own pensions.  For example, during tough economic times, can the person collecting the public pension vote for a measure that may reduce or freeze the public pension they are receiving?  

Their personal interest can and most likely will trump the publics interest.

wow. he is up there with some goppers i know

It appears that the occupiers are focusing on corporate welfare but are totally ignoring government welfare! dimwits!

he did not EARN the pension.....those in leadership roles worked the contract to 'give it up'......because those in leadership positions expect nothing less than the FUTURE RAPING OF TAXPAYERS via
the future budgets...BECAUSE THEY DONT F'EN CARE......

I just read that a state GAVE OUT $1000.00 BONUSES to their PUBLIC STATE WORKERS.......I HOPE THIS DOESN'T HAPPEN IN NYS.....OR SOME BLOOD WILL SPILL.....

these folks are in it....they stay in it....they dont moooooove from it.....they are like cows in a pasture.......

Change pension law so people like McCarthy can’t ‘game’ system

    Roger Hull has come under attacks for his Dec. 18 Viewpoint [“McCarthy games the system to give himself a 50 percent raise”]. In my opinion, what he said is true.
    He is accused of “sour grapes” because he lost. He has every right to [complain], because there are facets of that loss that need explanation.
    This visionary new politician got taken to the woodshed because he had the audacity to tell it like it was, and the “insiders” did not like that.
    Legal is not always the equivalent of “right,” despite what the judicial system would like us to believe.
    Slavery was legal in pre-Civil War South, and discrimination in earlier times was the law of the land.
    What Mr. Hull said was that the retirement system has been kidnapped. Millions of employees, from mainly the public sector, abuse it. It should be made illegal to “game” a system so vital to all.
    Often it goes this way: A public worker, policeman, fi reman, politician, teacher, lawyer, engineer, doctor, etc., decides to retire in his/her early 50s. Of course, it’s their right but some “game” the system to benefi t themselves. In their last working years (ordinarily three, but sometimes even one), these “soon to be retired” employees work as much overtime as they can (with help from younger colleagues planning to follow the same route in the future).
    They then base their retirement salary on a percentage of that infl ated income. Add perks like health care, and we have millions of young, healthy retirees living long enough to draw millions out of the retirement system. At times husband and wife teams work together in this milking scheme.
    Contrast that with private-sector workers. I am not talking about the successful banker, lawyer, plastic surgeon etc., who constitute a minority of that group. Mr. “Average Private Worker” is lucky if, retiring at 65, 75 or a later age, he has a nest egg totaling $50,000 to 100,000.
    We are dealing with two different groups of retired Americans, the “have it all” and the “have very little.” Many private-sector retirees have nothing except a puny Social Security income, which is under fi re these days.
    I wish we had more people like Roger Hull running the country, men with a vision, fighting for all Americans.

Thank you ....the people that understand this are the ones that have worked in private industry....

pay the ones that are corrupt and always looking for more.....greed is the word...private indutry retirees are trying to live within

their means...and without handouts......this is sure a democracy when the law is for the double, triple, quads, etc., dippers...

The law is the law and is not right as Mr. Malebrache stated.....and heroically, I might add....
