Ridiculous!!!
I posted yesterday about superindentent pension - now this article - the ex-superintendent who is in JAIL for STEALING 2.2 million dollars from the district gets a pension of over $170K FOR LIFE! The system is so messed up.

Re: Ridiculous!!!
This is DISGUSTING!!
"These felons benefit from a New York State constitutional guarantee that says if a public employee is entitled to a state pension for his or her years of service, those retirement benefits cannot be diminished or taken away, even after a felony conviction. Unlike several other states, New York has no statute providing for the forfeiture of pension benefits if someone is convicted of a crime.
Several attempts by Republican lawmakers to change that to allow forfeiture of pensions for public officials convicted of crimes have for years gone nowhere in the State Legislature in Albany as employee unions have fought against them, experts say."
Something needs to change!

Re: Ridiculous!!!
if they would lose their pensions- maybe they would think twice
same goes for cops that are convicted felons- we still pay them!
