The village allows the Chief to retire so he could start collecting a SIX FIGURE PENSION (no private sector worker in the state gets a six figure pension and 98% of the private sector workers don't even get a pension) and then hire him back a day later to a "DIFFERENT TITLED BUT SAME JOB" for $136K!!!
Pension: $100K
New Salary $136K
Tax Payer getting screwed to the tune of $236K!!!
Are you kidding me!!! This state is so broke, they crammed down one of the highest income taxes on the middle class in the country and the deficit STILL rose. The CORRUPT DEMOCRATS can't get pension reform even though it was needed since the 90s! Those corrupt democrats are too big of PUSSIES to take on the UNIONS!!!!!!!!
Therefore, corrupt BULLSHIT like this happens.

Retired, rehired Addison chief gets pay and pension - DailyHerald.com
In an effort to keep the village's top cop in place, the village board is allowing Hayden to retire as police chief but continue as the village's director of police, a newly created civilian position. While Hayden loses most of his official policing powers, he is expected to gain more than $100,000 a year from pension benefits.
Village officials are pleased with the plan, and it was approved by the village board Monday night, but critics are calling it an example of double dipping.
Hayden did not return calls to his office and home seeking comment about the move.
Addison Mayor Larry Hartwig said the village will pay Hayden more than $136,000 a year in his new role, a dip from his chief's salary of $140,911.
