Former Gov. Jim McGreevey has begun taking his state pension with a little help from Hudson County taxpayers, who will pay for his lifetime health benefits thanks to his recent four-month stint as a county attorney.
The decision to allow McGreevey to work for the county for four months and then retire with lifetime benefits has the county's payroll officials livid, according to a source with knowledge of the situation, but county spokesman James Kennelly said the retirement package is worth it for Hudson County.
McGreevey brought "unique experience" and "intense commitment" to developing a countywide prisoner re-entry center, also known as a community resource center (CRC) and formerly slated for the Sacred Heart Church priory.

Apparatchiks taking care of one of their own.

“Hudson freeholders passed law in response to McGreevey retirement
Hudson County.
I’m shocked.
No really, this is my shocked face...
They laugh at the peasants and dare us to do something.
Is there anything Democrats don’t get away with......ANYTHING???

...he thought they said prisoner entry center
LOL.
He sure was a creep.
“McGreevey brought “unique experience” and “intense commitment”
For which he was paid by law. This is theft.
McGreevy joined a episcopal seminary in a bid to become an ordained minister but the Episcopal church denied his bid for ordination.I guess that they did not want him to bring his ministry to the restrooms on the Garden State Parkway that he worked so assiduously when he was governor.
FLAMING GAY Jim McGreevey!!! What a LOSER!!
criminal
This is pretty simple to follow......
** September 2013, Fulop gets McGreevey a job on an autonomous agency for $111,000.00
** three months later in December of 2013, Fulop and/or McGreevey realizes that the former governor does not have enough time for a pension and health benefits, Fulop moves McGreevey from the autonomous agency to a city job that will give the governor pension credits, which he then earns through his city employment.
**Through Steve Fulop’s assistance McGreevey works on the Jersey City Payroll from December 2013 until March of 2015, thereby securing enough pension credits to retire with a $66,000.00 per year pension. Problem is that in 2011, good government advocate Councilman Steve Fulop pushes for an ordinance which is enacted which requires any city employee who is to receive lifetime health benefits from the city must work their Entire 25 years in Jersey City in order to be eligible. Stated another way, McGreevey gets no health benefits, what to do now?
**Mayor Fulop has McGreevey placed on to the Hudson County payroll which has no such 25 year requirement in order for an employee to acquire lifetime health benefits. Governor McGreevey retires from his Hudson County Job and now receives a pension and full health benefits.
**Mayor Fulop cannot give McGreevey his city job back because it would be illegal under pension laws because the governor has just retired from his Hudson County County Government Job. So instead, Mayor Fulop puts Governor McGreevey back onto the payroll of the autonomous agency in which McGreevey had first worked when Fulop hired him.
**according to my estimation all of this political wheeling and dealing by Mayor Fulop results in the following for Governor McGreevey: #1- $66,000.00 pension from the state, #2- $111,000.00 salary from the Autonomous Agency he works at in Jersey City (total paycheck- $177,000.00 per year) and #3- full lifetime health benefits paid for by Hudson County.
Fulop wants to run for Governor 2017 possibly
The lower ranking apparatchiks have learned Obama’s primary lesson: Be brazen as you like. There will be no consequences.
