Public Officials Double Dipping?

Filed under: Politics — Jaws @ 1:01 pm

The state enacted a retire-rehire law five years ago to curb a shortage of teachers and administrators.

It allows longtime public school teachers and administrators to collect the same or lower pay and pension benefits.

Now is it just me, or does anyone else think it’s wrong for public officials to retire, get their pensions, and then get rehired to the same job and get a salary? It’s all the tax payers money here and it’s as if they’re double dipping into the pot.

Sadly, this isn’t an uncommon trend, as apparently many municipal figures do it…

A twist in the AIPAC Investigation

Filed under: Israel,Middle East — Jaws @ 12:58 pm

An interesting twist into the investigation….

has raised questions about the government’s case against Rosen, former AIPAC Iran analyst Keith Weissman and Larry Franklin, a former Pentagon analyst accused of passing classified information to the AIPAC staffers.

One of the unknown/unnamed Gov’t sources has decided to step forward and reveal himself–and it’s none other than best selling author and Clinton NSA Staffer: Kenneth Pollack

Pollack is recently best known for two of his books: The Persian Puzzle : The Conflict Between Iran and America and The Threatening Storm: The Case for Invading Iraq

What does this all mean?
