This is exactly why people like Nogods and his Party argue against running government like a business.
They know far to many elected and appointed people hold other positions - careers - own business's -
They, for the most part take elected/appointed positions mainly for the benefits ! Tax funded healthcare, prescription coverage and tax funded pensions - mainly because it relieves them of paying for it themselves.
They rarely ever put in the hours they are credited for on the payroll sheets - and no one ever verifies them.
Town Attorneys, Clerks and others - when asked about hours worked say things like Nogods has or they simply say, "I make my own hours" or a lawyer would likely say, "My hours are my own" -
Most of their days may start in their tax funded office - mainly making phone calls to line up their "Outside work" - then they leave their tax funded office to conduct other business.
NYS Pension system should be auditing these people - not only are they defrauding local taxpayers - they are scamming the tax funded pension system.
They are earning pension credits/time for working some where while actually working some where else.
If anyone has info on tax funded elected employees doing the double dip - you can anonymously report it to the NYS Comptrollers Office:
