When is a retirement not really a retirement?

Why when individuals can soak Jersey City taxpayers for coming back three weeks later as 'consultants'.

Yep, retire from your job, get a huge severance package and then three weeks later come back to the trough and start soaking up even more taxpayer money when you become a consultant. Jersey City Assistant Business Administrator Roger Grego and Chief of Administrative Services Kathy Dealy both retired February 1st. Both have now come back to accept lucrative jobs as consultants to in Jersey City. Now the state of New Jersey (and we doubt we'll agree on much with Chris Christie but we sure do here) is looking into this set up and are looking to see if this is at worst not legal and second a tremendous waste of taxpayer monies. One thing we don't need here in Jersey City right now are highly paid consultants.
