Two union lobbyists each work 1 day as a school sub, now eligible for $millions in pension benefits.

SPRINGFIELD—

— House lawmakers attacked union pension abuses Monday in response to Tribune/WGN-TV investigations, including one that exposed how two lobbyists got public teacher pensions for a single day of substitute teaching.

The investigation found Steven Preckwinkle, the Illinois Federation of Teachers' political director, and fellow lobbyist David Piccioli had used a now-closed loophole that allowed them to count their years in the teacher union toward a state teacher pension. The two lobbyists had no prior teaching experience before they substituted a day, a union spokesman said.

Former Weymouth Mayor David Madden executed a potentially lucrative maneuver on his way out the door — stepping down as mayor and arranging for himself a brief no-show job as fire chief, retiring days later in a bid to boost his pension by $33,558, according to documents and frustrated state regulators, who lost their battle over the benefits before an appellate board and now plan to sue.

A minor win?

Judge rejects T workers effort to block benefit cuts

)December 29, 2009 02:25 PM

By Noah Bierman, Globe Staff

A Suffolk Superior Court judge has dealt a significant blow to MBTA employees fighting a cut in their benefits, saying in a key ruling released yesterday that a group of 22 labor unions was unlikely to win a lawsuit attempting to block Governor Patrick's transportation plan.

The unions had argued in a lawsuit filed in September that Patrick's plan to save up to $30 million a year through cuts to worker and retiree benefits illegally subverts collective bargaining rights by changing their benefits without going to the negotiating table.

They say they earned the benefits over many years and that the T's real problem is the debt that has piled up... (See story for more)

Hack’s pension loss the final indignity

Proposal: No pensions at all for elected officials

I've made this proposal before, but want to repeat it; elected officials should not receive any pension credit for their time in office. Term limits may not be constitutional, but I bet this would be legal, and would have the same effect- legislators who serve one or two terms, then return to their real jobs. The alternative is career politicians, who accumulate power, and as the saying goes, all-too-often then become corrupted.

Retirement board suspends DiMasi pension

By State House News Service
Thursday, October 29, 2009 -

The state Retirement Board voted today to suspend the pension of former House Speaker Salvatore DiMasi, who is battling public corruption charges. But under the vote, which was taken in closed executive session, DiMasi will receive $25,000 in pension payments dating back to June, with the suspension of his pension effective on November 1.

Treasurer Tim Cahill, who oversees the retirement board, administratively suspended DiMasi’s pension on June 9, seven days after his indictment on charges that he allegedly used his office to secure contracts aimed at enriching himself and three associates.

It's not just Boston. Haverhill FF's are pretty shameless.

I especially admire the guy moving furniture. I don't really blame the guy at the hockey game, I could go watch my kid play a game if I'm sick. Shovelers and movers though, deserve what they get.

Firefighters laughed, joked when they called in sick

—

HAVERHILL — One firefighter who has been suspended for violating sick-leave rules joked and laughed with a dispatcher when he called in sick in December.

Another firefighter who called in sick said, "I'm supposed to work but I don't want to.''

A third firefighter made reference to the fact that someone, possibly a supervisor, would be angry that he was calling in sick for the second time in a short period.

That is according to audio tapes of the conversations released by the city. All calls to the fire dispatch center are recorded.

The city's personnel office released the audio tapes to The Eagle-Tribune yesterday, two days after Mayor James Fiorentini suspended firefighters Christopher Cesati, George Sarrette and Andrew Lafferty for 10 days without pay and Raymond Robinson for five days without pay.

Fiorentini's decision mirrors the recommendation of the lawyer who presided over hearings on the city's case against the firefighters, except that the hearing officer, lawyer Michael Marks of Lynn, recommended Robinson be suspended for only one day. The firefighters have refused to explain their side of the events — declining comment to The Eagle-Tribune and refusing to testify at the city hearings.

Sarrette, a former president of the firefighters union, called in sick Dec. 22.

"I'm supposed to work, but I don't want to," Sarrette is heard on the audio tape telling the dispatcher, who is another firefighter working a shift at the emergency dispatch center.

The dispatcher responded by asking Sarrette if he wanted to use sick time to cover his full 24-hour shift.

"Ya, probably. Might as well. (Expletive) it," Sarrette answered.

The dispatched responded, "Ya, if you're gonna take a day off you gotta get healthy. I'll put you in for 24 — you're out.''

Marks' report says Sarrette called in sick for a shift that started at 8 a.m. At about 3 p.m., Sarrette was videotaped by a private investigator shoveling snow in his driveway and clearing snow from a car in an adjacent garage, according to Marks' report.

After removing snow, Sarrette picked up a female passenger and proceeded to Central Plaza, where he parked in the fire lane at the Rite Aid store while his passenger entered the store, the report says. At 4:30 p.m., Sarrette made another stop at Market Basket Supermarket, the report says.

"The video over the next hour shows Mr. Sarrette performing errands at several stores in the Haverhill area, arriving home at 7:30 p.m.," the report says.

Cesati called in sick Dec. 18 for a 24-hour shift. On the audio tape, the dispatcher is heard questioning Cesati about why he is calling in sick so close to the start of his shift. Cesati tells the dispatcher that someone is "gonna lose his (expletive)" when he learns Cesati has called in sick for the second time in recent days, to which the dispatcher agrees.

"He's gonna lose his mind? Ya, I'm sure," the dispatcher says.

"I'll be out the full 24 this time," Cesati said.

Later that day at 7 p.m., private investigators videotaped Cesati arrive at his home in a Budget Rental Truck, according to Marks' report.

Cesati directed the unidentified driver of the truck to back the truck onto his lawn, the report says. Cesati then began moving boxes, furniture and other household items from the home into the truck, the report says.

"At one point, video surveillance showed Mr. Cesati putting a ladder to the second floor window of his home so that a bureau could be removed and carried down the ladder and into the truck," the report says. "Mr. Cesati made numerous trips from the home to the truck carrying household items and furniture."

When Robinson called in sick, he and the dispatcher could be heard laughing on the tape.

"Robby calling in sick," the conversation begins.

"You sound like (expletive) Robby," the dispatcher says, laughing.

"Oh yaa," Robinson says, as both men continue laughing.

Robinson called in sick Dec. 30. He was videotaped later that evening driving his Dodge Caravan to the New England Sports Center, an ice-skating facility in Marlborough, according to Marks' report.

"Mr. Robinson can be seen in the viewing gallery watching a hockey game," the report says. "During the event, Mr. Robinson was summoned to the (ice) to assist a player. He can be seen jogging around the rink and onto the ice, where he provided assistance to the player. At approximately 9:45 p.m., Mr. Robinson, along with what appear to be his children, proceed to the parking area and leave the sports center. He returned home at 10:30 and remained home until surveillance ceased at 12:30 a.m."

The city was unable to locate an audio tape of Lafferty calling in sick, City Solicitor William Cox said.

Lafferty, also a former union president, called in sick Dec. 23. During what would have been his work shift, he was videotaped shoveling snow in front of a home and on its stairs and porch, Marks' report says. Later, he drove to a Taco Bell restaurant, the report says.

The firefighters were videotaped by private detectives after the firefighters union complained about attendance counseling offered by the fire chief, according to city officials.

"The audio tapes provide a glimpse into what appears to be the culture surrounding use of sick time in the Haverhill Fire Department," Marks' report says of the calls made by the firefighters.

Fire Chief Borden began the disciplinary process in July by suspending each firefighter without pay for five days, with a recommendation to increase the suspensions to 30 days with Fiorentini's approval. The firefighters appealed Borden's decision, triggering the hearings overseen by Marks that concluded last month.

The firefighters may appeal Fiorentini's decision to the state Civil Service Commission and then the courts, but the city does not have to wait for those appeals to suspend the firefighters, the mayor said.

The days of the suspensions are to be determined by the fire chief and may be staggered to minimize the impact on the department, according to the mayor's decision.

Fiorentini has said only firefighters with a history of excessive or questionable use of sick leave were targeted in the surveillance operation, which cost the city about $13,000. The mayor said he targeted firefighters because they had been calling in sick at a much greater rate than other city workers.

Since the videotaping became public knowledge in July, Fiorentini said the rate at which firefighters have been calling in sick has significantly declined.

The union fought to hold the disciplinary hearings behind closed doors and keep the names of the accused firefighters secret.

On Wednesday, the firefighters posted an Internet YouTube audio tape of conversations between the Borden and Marks from the closed-door hearings. The snippets purport to show Borden and Marks making disparaging comments about firefighters in general, but Borden has said his comments were taken out of context. The city solicitor has said the conversation was recorded secretly by firefighters at the hearing. The mayor has said the city is investigating were the audio recording was made illegally.

Haverhill city official loses pension

Good job, whoever caught this guy. How many more are out there?

Haverhill city official loses pension rj

HAVERHILL, Mass. (AP) - The former head of Haverhill's public works department, convicted of using his job to benefit his own paving and home building businesses, now faces losing his pension. The city's Retirement Board on Tuesday voted unanimously to revoke the more than $65,000 annual pension of former Highway Department Superintendent James Flaherty. Flaherty's lawyer, Scott Gleason, tells The Eagle-Tribune he will appeal the decision in court. Flaherty and his son Kevin, a former foreman in the department, were convicted in June of felony larceny for stealing paving material from the city while they were employed there. James Flaherty is serving six months of a two-year suspended sentence under house arrest. Kevin Flaherty was released after serving two months of a four-month sentence.

Firefighters at it again- thanks for the robocall

I received a robo-call from the Firefighters' Union this week, telling me that Mayor Menino's recklessness was allowing stations to be closed because he won't pay overtime.

My understanding is this;

- Boston FF's call in sick at a very high rate compared to other departments

- This is worse on holidays, indicating that it is not merely a bad case of the cold or flu going around

- If a FF calls in sick, not only do they get the day off, but one of their colleagues gets paid OT to fill in for them.  Win-Win!  (but not for the taxpayer)

- Stations have always been closed periodically for training.

- Stations in much of Boston are located every mile or so.

I think the Chief and Mayor are doing the right thing on this one.

"Cost savings from the bill are limited because it targets a very small population of the most jaw-dropping abuses, said Sen. Steven C. Panagiotakos (D-Lowell) who sat on the committee that released the bill."

Ed: I like this Panagiotakos guy!

Also:  DiMasi's pension suspended

Indict Cahill and revoke Ms. Shea's pension immediately

Why is it even possible to pass a special rule like this for one person?

This seems criminal.

• Indict Cahill.
  
• Launch immediate ethics reviews of his office and fund-raising.
  
• Revoke Shea's pension.
  

If special rules can enhance a pension, then special rules should be able to revoke.  

Senators? Representatives? Who's got the guts to take action?

Cahill voted to double supporter's pension

By Sean P. Murphy and Frank Phillips, Globe Staff  |  June 10, 2009

A longtime political supporter and fund-raiser for state Treasurer Timothy P. Cahill is collecting the kind of lucrative pension typically reserved for public safety personnel such as police and prison guards, even though she held administrative jobs in the Norfolk County sheriff's office.

Cahill voted to approve the hazardous duty pension for Josephine E. Shea in 2000, while he was still Norfolk County treasurer and chairman of the Norfolk County Retirement Board, according to public records.

Shea, who retired that year at age 49, has been collecting a pension now worth $47,000 a year, plus health-care insurance, paid by Norfolk county taxpayers. If she had received the kind of pension usually given to sheriff's department administrators, instead of the type Norfolk corrections officers get for their potentially dangerous jobs, her pension would be worth less than half that, $21,230 a year.

Pension Reform Before Revenue

Posted by Mark Navin, Senior Producer, Monday, May 4th, 2009

Show airs: 05/08/2009

Governor Deval Patrick has been pushing pension reform on Beacon Hill, and despite the state’s dire financial need, says he might veto tax increase legislation unless lawmakers include reform as part of their agenda. Some say the move is a political one, with the Governor and others grabbing onto a populist issue that would have little real financial effect, while others say, if not now, when is the right time for pension reform?

Lots of OT, but what is their regular job?

At BRA, pair got extra $52,300 to do odd jobs

Officials are vague on staffers' duties

$60-$70k salaries, plus OT. And what will their pensions be?

Everyone else is writing about taxes today. How about Beacon Hill's Self-Dealing?

Beacon Hill politicians mum on staff pay

This is complete bullshit.  What happened to reform? What happened to transparency?    And with all of these staffers, our representatives still don't know what's in the thousand page bills they vote on.

Remember, almost every $90k/year staffer will be taking home a sweet pension after their 20+ years.  FOR LIFE, while their bosses just voted to raise your taxes.

Call your rep TODAY and ask how many staffers they have and what their names are. Send your results here.

More than three-quarters of Beacon Hill lawmakers - including the House speaker and Senate president - threw up “a veil of secrecy” when pressed for the size and salaries of their taxpayer-paid staff, even as they are muscling through wallet-crippling tax hikes
