The dead New Orleans cops were paid under a special program with FEDERAL money. I know this will be shocking but someone in Louisiana was stealing our tax dollars.

That's how I found the link in the first place.

I am not having problems opening any of the files at those links - even the ones I did not open before. Is your Adobe Acrobat up to date?

Yes. Maybe the server is overwhelmed.

I'll try it again tomorrow morning. Thanks.

Well, it IS on the New Jersey state website. Maybe they just don't want folks who actually live in New Jersey to be able to read what's at the link. You might start thinking New Jersey's government is corrupt or something...

direct-deposity now as a cost savings.

When you are paying a dead person $130,000 a year for thirty years who's worried about cost savings. LOL :)

Of course, but with Camden the BADA BING is even more likely!

By the way, the headline of this report is misleading. The dead person was paid a little over $130,000 since his or her death in 1974, not each year.

I thought that $130,000 annually meant that $130,000 per year for 30+ years (damn near $4,000,000).

Did I mis-read?

...and he's been dead for more than three decades...and he just might have been one of the most effective employees the school district had.....

The writer misread (or didn't read) the actual report. My saying it is misleading is charitable. It is flat out wrong. It's not what the actual report or the WPVI-TV story Fox News.com is relying on said. Both said the "deceased" was paid $130,000 in total, not $130,000 per year since his death.

The actual report says, on page 81, "One employee was hired in 1966 and retired August 1, 2006; according to the SSA, he passed away in 1974. Since then, checks have been issued in his name totaling $130,822 after taxes." The report also says ALL 10 people who received compensation from the Camden school district after they were supposedly deceased received a total of $380,830.34. So it is not possible that he received $130,000 per year for 30+ years.

A dead bureaucrat deserves a top salary because he does less damage than a live bureaucrat.

I just saw that on my Chase card, or CHASE-SUCKS card as I call it. A default rate of 34.25%. They already raised the rate last year from approx. 13% to 29.99% just for having a high balance for which they deemed us to be a high risk, not for any late or missing payments of which I had none! It should be illegal and I will never understand why they can do as they please. As of this month's bill it's paid off, bye-bye CHASE SUCKS forever! Never again.

"
The audit also found outside vendors have been overpaid more than $17 million. In one case the district forked over $953,000 for copy equipment even though the purchase order was for only $55,000."

Must be some copiers! Sounds like they used the Pentagon's toilet supplier.

most large payrolls are direct-deposited now as a cost savings.

Yes, they are, and I think it sux BIG.

I had to apply for a special dispensation to NOT get my pay direct-deposited, and had to re-apply every month (bi-weekly pay periods) to keep my ex from destroying my credit rating.

DD is great for convenience, but it annoys me when "payday" arrives, but the money isn't in my account until 3 or 4 AM. The week's holdback isn't enough? When I'm online at 12:04AM payday, what I'm owed ought to be there! Otherwise, give me a cheque upon arrival payday. I'll work (or not) that morning as I see fit, or as my employer and I have agreed to on payday.

The employer is buying my time. We are both there for mutual benefit. The employer OWES me what we agreed to, at the TIME we agreed to. I only expect the employer's side of the agreement to be honoured. When I am told that I will be paid on such-and-such a day, I expect MY money to be available to me AT THAT MOMENT. Contract law works both ways.

I think those $300 hammers and $1000 toilet seats were how they got some of the "black" projects (KH11 satellites etc.) through in the older days

The last Republican voter left Camden sometime in the late 19th Century.

Actually, the previous Mayor of Camden (Milian) was sent to Club Fed for taking bribes from a the Philadelphia chapter of a certain Italian American fraternal organization. ;-)
