Pray tell, is this new judge a double dipper from the state. He will get a fat retirement from the state and couple hundred grand a year from being a judge.
Is this legalize robbery or what?
I wished I was wrong and he would deduct his state retirement from his pay as a judge. Will he?
In reply to Irony –
Do you consider anyone receiving a pension from one employer and working for another, a “double dipper”? For example, if he was receiving a retired military pension and is now working for another employer, he shouldn’t get paid as much? Part of his employment with the state provided him with retirement benefits. That benefit exists no matter what he does after he leaves the state. His tenure as a judge or other employment is inconsequential to him receiving his CA retirement (that he contributed to and was part of his overall compensation).
Your comment lacks thought, logic and commonsense.
