We do this all the time. It is cheaper for the state because the employees return as part-time wage employees which means “no benefits”.

Time to bail the state out, or their pensions will be cut.

In the mean time the rest of us poor serfs are losing money in our 401K’s eating beans and rice! Guess we weren't the lucky few who ran for public office able to pass laws to benefit the ourselves.
Ain't tyranny grand! What ticks me off is they have the nerve to preach “morality” like it really means something to them!

We have a growing aristocracy of bureaucrats. They are telling us filthy capitalists to eat cake.

In MA, when they talk about possible budget cuts, it’s always fire depts, police, and crucial day-to-day parts of education. Things that hurt. There is never any consideration given to reforming government pensions.

Government employees continue to gang rape the American tax payer.

First, a paycheck of over $300,000 seems ridiculous for a state employee. As to whether or not his collecting a pension while working is a problem, it depends on the situation. If the pension is self-funded from contributions made before he retired, and is based on interest earned from those contributions, it should be treated like any other annuity. You don't ask someone what their other income is for them to receive an annuity based on previous investments. If it's funded by current tax revenue or tuition, it should be illegal.

exploiting a loophole in state retirement laws. Others call it "rape" -- rape of the taxpayer.
