Loophole allows Essex County Executive DiVincenzo to collect full salary, pension | NJ.com

To think this guys backs Christie in his pension and benefits reform is almost comical. Cops,firefighters and teachers are the problem? Being that this is Christie Democratic boy I cant wait to hear nothing from your majesty on this one. Hypocritical to say the least.

Just a note I also agree with some type of reform but can I really trust any of these Joisey guys?

The only way I can think that the tax payer wins is that if he retired now, you'd still be paying someone to do his job. If he waited and drew pension later, it would likely be more, unless of course he's seen the writing on the wall re. cutting pensions in the coming years, which of course he would be privy to inside info on. My kids are going to wonder what a pension is (was).

It is an absolute disgrace.

How long will it take for legislation to address these loopholes and will the said legislation ever be proposed?

"He insisted that he’s not retired, just "drawing down" his pension, and pointed out that he’s not breaking any rules or laws"

I wonder what exactly he means by "drawing down"? To me it implies it is reducing what he would eventually get in total. Is that actually true?

Key word is bolded. Does NJ's legislature have what it takes to start legislating on the tax payers behalf.

No. Christie would be doing much wider and sweeping reforms if he had the Legislature behind him, like Walker and Kasich.

Too bad Christie has not had the guts to call out one of his boys. I wish politicians would be consistent. What Joe D is doing is an absolute disgrace and I could care less is he is a Dem or Reb. Wrong is wrong so my question is where is Christies outrage on this blatant abuse of power? No comment was the best he could come up with? Wow

IMHO, a lot of the problem comes with the false dichotomy of partisan politics. Is there really a difference anymore?

How about you get SERIOUS about change and break it up at the polls?
