I’m reminded of the Hey Mon! skit from In Living Color with the Jamaican family bragging about how many jobs they had. If I was at home I would hunt for a video link.

These are not really jobs - they’re retainers. If he does any work, his law firm bills by the hour. If they don’t need him for anything, he gets nothing.

Yet this isn’t just this guy. Granted he is an extreme example, but double dipping is a way of life here in NJ for many public employees.

Check this out:

And Murphy wants a bailout as he keeps NJ locked down? The Corrup-19 virus that infected NJ was here long before COVID hit.

Not retainers, contracts, he is a 1099 employee for each of those towns/positions. His contracts are worth around 2 million dollars.

The ‘press’ is the most conservative outlet in New Jersey, McGuckin is a republican just like Paul Ryan is one....

Not being familiar with NJ but this sounds like a legal firm with contracted attorneys and not true “public employees”. But at $2M/year I would be auditing their billable rate and the billable hours on each invoice.

And this guy isn’t even as egregious as the public officials who retire from one job, get another and double dip a pension.

Then you have the cops who do other jobs while on duty.

Publicly elected officials who hold office and a separate public job and vote themselves double raises.

It goes on and on.

When Murphy shut us down, I marveled that he was so unaware that the corrupt machine had already run out of cash and was ponzi scheming it. Now that reality is coming home and this joker looking moron thinks the feds are going to be the latest investor in the scheme.

My wife is a teacher. One year away from EARNING her pension and she isn’t coming back next year because the state has no money.

There was a movie/documentary in 2010 called “The Suprano State” basically a who’s who of NJ Corruption.

The movie was shown in Theaters in NJ for a few weeks until the movie was ‘bought out’ and never shown again.

Here is the youttube trailer of the video
