One of the architects of Mayor Bill de Blasio's housing plan is living well at the taxpayer's expense...
Anita Laremont, the executive director of the Department of City Planning, as one of four civil servants raking in more than $300,000 this fiscal year thanks to special permission to receive both a public paycheck and public-pension payments. Waivers granted under Section 211 of New York's Retirement and Social Security Law are supposed to allow the state and local governments to attract and retain employees younger than 65
...
the real number of high-earning double-dippers may be considerably greater because waivers are only necessary for those under age 65 and data is unavailable from the New York City Police Pension fund.

Thanks george76. Sometimes "knowing where the bodies are buried" really is just an expression. Get ready for more like this, all the way through early 2025.
The benefit of being a democrat/socialist elite is obviously worth being dishonest.
Must be quite an art, getting big bucks screwing the masses while the useful idiots idolize you. Sort of a masochism thing going on.
If he’s playing by the rules, he’s not the problem.
In fact, it makes him smart.
Thanks.
A lawyer.
And all the guys with a Master’s in Urban Planning?
Laremont is a magna cum laude graduate of Mount Holyoke College, and received her J.D. from the New York University School of Law, where she was a Root Tilden Scholar.

Yeah but she’s a “woman”..... “of color”........(snx).
Very wealthy elites run this country many of whom are wealthy by the taxpayer and other public service schemes. Politics is a way they insulate themselves on the left and right.
It’s not what you know but who you know in government jobs. She might have a JD, but I doubt she ever seriously practiced law. I would bet her resume is nothing but a series of government jobs based on her party affiliation and afirmative action and her actual experience in urban planning is zero. I have a masters degree in urban planning plus doctoral level credits and decades of experience and never made that kind of money.

“”living well at the taxpayer’s expense””
Appears to be a case of “high on the hog.” Have no idea where that phrase came from but I’d say it fits. Not being judgmental, mind you!
Why do we always (nearly always) know the race of the person we’re reading about when it’s not announced? Why are “their” so called leaders always crying about lack of “opportunities” when we read about people like this nearly every day? We need a study to get the answers to these questions.
Is NYC still paying teachers to show up every day to sit in a room and not teach?
Well said....funny but true!
Time for an investment is Yellow vests....we have been screwed by DC and all government workers for to long...
When I grew up welfere was a government job or you did not eat...
I agree. There’s no “double-dipping”. The pension $$ are part of the compensation for work performed previously. The pay check is for current work.
If the pensioner/employee had a private retirement plan, as opposed to the (mandatory) government pension — no one would be objecting to the employment income. Similarly, if said pensioner were to secure employment elsewhere; no one would level charges of “double-dipping”.
'Gets the OK from the State, and the Federal governments—both of whom benefit through income and sales taxes. Miami-Dade County keeps an employee who knows the ropes, and the County doesn't have to wade through young newbie-applicants with drug issues.
