Audits question $15M in school expenses (N.J.)

Not a word in the article about the rolling of heads.

That was US Army, and I might be guilty of faulty memory there.

[BenLurkin]

he's been dead for more than three decades???????

[SampleMan]

I was just joking. But most large payrolls are direct-deposity now as a cost savings.

..nothing to see here folks, move along ,move along....
Seriously....typical Jersey politics, as disgustingly as it is..it really don't surprise me.
The good part comes along later, when no one goes to jail.
Sure there will be investigation after investigation, headline after headline, a call for a committee, a panel to get to the bottom of this...*cough cough*, *nudge nudge*....and soon the headlines disappear,and time passes, and memories fade......
..guess what?..it's election time, and another RAT governor will be elected to get corruption out of politics in the Garden State.

Maybe the people in charge will hold a news conference announcing that they are gay-Americans and will resign next year.

Then all will be forgiven.

[Coleus]

I bet he is and I wonder who has been cashing the checks all these years?

[Mr. Jeeves]

Keep him on the payroll - he's doing less damage to kids than the living employees. ;)

>>>City officials were shocked by the discovery.

Bullcrap.

An audit of Camden schools found an employee was issued $130,000 since his death in 1974 while paychecks also were printed for three others with birth dates in the future.

At least 10 employees were on the payroll after their deaths, they were issued paychecks totaling $380,000 after dying. One employee, hired in 1966 and dead since 1974, was listed as retired in 2006. He was issued checks of $130,000. 3 employees have birth dates sometime in the future.

The auditors said they had trouble collecting some information because data is routinely purged at the end of each year!

[LibKill]

I'll make them a deal.

Pay me half of that and I will show up in person once a year to say "Thank you Very Much".

Hehe.

[SampleMan]

If a dead man can sign the checks, he can certainly set up direct deposit when they make the request.

[Izzy Dunne]

I've heard of being late to work, but this is ridiculous!

The other night, NJN (New Jersey's public television station) listings had " Ask the Governor" followed by the show "Secrets of the Dead". At first glance, I thought they were going to interview Democrat voters after Corzine's appearance.

/If a dead man can sign the checks, he can certainly set up direct deposit when they make the request/

He's got to be a felon dem then, those guys can vote anywhere too.

[RunningWolf]

And I will undercut you another 20% :-)

"A recent audit of cash-strapped Camden, N.J. school district's finances found it was paying an employee $130,000 annually — and he's been dead for more than three decades."

And, I'll bet 10 to 1 odds that he's still voting democRAT.

[JerseyJohn61]

Camden is a shinning example of the triumphs brought
about by the Democrat's decades long War on Poverty....JJ61

[DuncanWaring]

I don't think they had direct deposit 30 years ago when this guy died.

DOD had direct-deposit in 1970; I don't know for how long before that.

Hey Free..how many cases were brought before the highly acclaimed "ethics committee" to route out corruption? I think the number was somewhere around 435..???..they looked at 2..
