Public Officials Double Dipping?
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…
Thoughts?
