Twenty-three supervisors and investigators for the Attorney General’s Office and DCJ are using legal loopholes to draw salaries and pension pay, New Jersey Watchdog found. On average, each pockets $164,000 a year — $96,000 in salary and $68,000 in pension...."

This is a long read but John V. Kenney was the master of corruption in Jersey. When most of this became public I had left the NJ Turnpike but believe me, Mr. Kenney was a big presence there. The Director (Bill Flanagan, Jersey City). This is so interesting and gives you a great insight into the culture. Even the Catholic Church go to enjoy the spoils...The old priests from Ireland go to visit the old sod one more time..on the tax payers dime..There are parts that are hilarious.
