ditto, the whole fiasco should underline that states/govt agencies are going broke and that is before we start talking about pension obligations. When you’re on the public dime…..
“At No. 17 was Dominick J. Masiello, an L.I.R.R. locomotive engineer, who earned about $75,000 in base salary and overtime payments of $52,000.
He also received $94,600 in “penalty payments,†which railroad officials said stemmed from a contractual rule that requires engineers who work in a storage yard to be paid extra if they are assigned to move a locomotive to a nearby maintenance facility or if they are asked to operate a train outside of the yard.”
I have to unionize and get me a penalty payment clause for when management asks me to do anything.
Are a lot of the BHB regulars involved in prostitution?
The clams are not in jail! They are out ambulance chasing…errr…rounding up clients for SSC&J, LLP from that bus accident. 1/3 baby!
More prostitution arrests. Guess this explains the absence of some of the clams.
“When he and his dad got outside, the police were waiting for him – just kidding.”
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The overtime abuse is egregious. The management should be fired for letting it occur.

Yet they have a budget shortfall of 400 million. We lost 20% of our staff last year despite making money and no one gets a gtd pension.
Keep raising my taxes!
I bet a letter from the adults who shoplift would look about the same as the one from the 7 year old boy.
