This is nice. Isn’t the comptroller supposed to be looking out for the taxpayers? I guess Democrat Thomas DiNapoli is more concerned with keeping the public employee unions happy. What else would explain him giving instructions on his website on padding their pensions?
Democrat and Chronicle: In recent days, state Comptroller Thomas DiNapoli has alleged overtime abuses at New York City’s Metropolitan Transportation Authority and announced dramatic increases in state and local governments’ pension contributions.
The two issues are not unrelated. Overtime — when excessive — can drive up pension benefits, which costs taxpayers.
Yet, on the comptroller’s website, under the heading “Maximizing Your Benefits,” DiNapoli provides tips for government employees to pad their pension by stockpiling vacation and sick time or working overtime and holidays.
“You may be unaware that you can increase your retirement benefits by increasing your service credit and/or final average salary,” the site reads. “Here are some tips for doing that.”
With people like DiNapoli looking out for the taxpayers in New York, is it any wonder the state is broke?
See friend you’ve go it all wrong. We are the employees and the public servants have taken over the house. Where else can we find such qualified people to run us into so much debt. They have become the sanctified.
Have you ever asked one where they would work in public enteprise and make the money they make with the qualifications they have.?

[...] Daniel Henninger’s piece in The Wall Street Journal about the New York State Comptrollers race is a must read for every New Yorker before casting a vote on November 2. Public employee pensions in this state are a ticking time bomb and we need someone in the comptrollers office who takes this seriously. Obviously, Tom DiNapoli doesn’t take it seriously. If he did, he wouldn’t have posted instructions on pension padding for public employees on his website! [...]
