That's hogwash. If my story was so terrible why do you link to it on your blog? I appreciate it when you share my work and you're welcome to criticize I suppose but insulting me like this is mean-spirited. And anyway you're wrong about my reporting. It's terrific.

I am surprised that the police are the only ones punished with having their pensions yanked for a crime. Here's a for instance, let's say a member of the DOE, DSNY, or USPS is convicted of assault. That public servant may be terminated from his job for "conduct unbecoming", or violating a morality clause etc., BUT those members still keep their pension. An NYPD officer who is convicted of assault for an off-duty minor altercation not only can get fired but have his pension <br />yanked. That is so unfair. thank gd DOE employees are treated differently --thank Gd!!!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-80936216259989030202017-09-01T13:22:06.142-04:002017-09-01T13:22:06.142-04:00Michawl:

Otherwise, the pension must be paid, no matter what the crime is.Chazhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09964739497720364749noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-32732693399009321612017-09-01T11:49:00.082-04:002017-09-01T11:49:00.082-04:00your summer is over my former fellow colleagues an...your summer is over my former fellow colleagues and now the stress of a new year is shadowing you like the silly eclipse a few weeks ago. for some of you the year will bring joy, happiness and accomplishment. for too many of you it will bring stress, complaining and no one to turn to for help. I put the nyshitty school system behind me. I have been on 6 interviews in the suburbs and 4 of those interviews turned into a question and answer about how bad the city is. they know it and I knew it. its hard to put into words how deflating the doe and uft have been I just hope I can recuperate and put it all behind me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-28252645029241568682017-09-01T11:13:06.220-04:002017-09-01T11:13:06.220-04:00I could be wrong, but I thought a teacher could lo...I could be wrong, but I thought a teacher could lose their pension if they commit a gross violation of the law which is integral to their job, such as sexual or physical abuse of a student. If that's the case, then the teachers would have to resign/retire before being terminated in order to maintain their pension benefits.Michael Fiorillonoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20674128.post-27438245699997490082017-08-31T18:49:53.626-04:002017-08-31T18:49:53.626-04:00anon 9:51
