Genduso earned $151,000 last year, records show.
You’re not kidding.
$151,000 a year to be a state trroper?! Not to mention health insurance, pensions, and the like?
Just wondering out loud how long can that continue.
Not sure if this still holds true, but at least up until a few years ago, only a commissioned law enforcement officer could direct traffic in Massachusetts. Consequently, if a construction company, road crew, etc. needed a flag man to turn a stop/slow sign, their only option was to hire an off-duty officer, usually at overtime rates to do a job a lot of teenagers on summer vacation do in other states.
Similar pay here in SoCal.

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
“earned”? - Sort of a nit, but the more proper wording would be “she was paid $151,000 ....”
Some will say it is a minor point, but I think it is well worth the effort to make the distinction.
I suspect she will still get her pension while in prison.
And yet, 857 other State Cops made more than her. The Commandant of State Police made $386,000. While the Governor made a modest $151,000.
