Scott Walker Appoints Political Confidante With 4 Pensions to $90,000 State Position

This guy just doesn't know when to quit.

Scott Walker is against public union pensions, but he's not against pensions, for himself or his cronies.

In fact, Walker's former chief of staff at the Milwaukee County Board, Tom Nardelli, is well on his way to receiving a whopping four pensions, one of them is $30,000 a year from the city of Milwaukee.

Upon being elected governor, Walker appointed Nardelli, 66, to a state position overseeing to state building and safety codes paying $90,000 a year.

As the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports:

Nardelli will be paid $90,000 in his new job. He was paid about $75,000 with the county as Walker's chief of staff.

Nardelli collects a $30,000-a-year pension from the city and another undisclosed sum from the Army, where he served more than 25 years and retired as a lieutenant colonel.

He's also eligible for a county pension of about $4,500 a year, but that won't kick in until April, when his unused vacation and personal time runs out. Nardelli will also be eligible for a state pension. If he keeps his state job for four years, he could get about $5,700 a year.

4. Yeah but you know Scottie could end up being the biggest gift

to the progressive movement that has happened in decades. I have been asking for years what is it going to take for America to wake up and realize that we are getting screwed and are now seriously at risk for losing our government and way of life. Scottie may be the answer to that problem.

3. But he really earned those pensions

not like those lazy teachers:sarcasm: just to be safe

Time to go after walker's pension and benefits

[Curmudgeoness]

5. Do these assholes even know what they are saying when they speak.

Say one thing, do another---and they don't see what the problem is when people point it out.

Does anyone else wish that they had the ability to make a few changes of their own to these idiot's budgets? I would hit the hypocrisy right in the ass.

6. This man is incredible. He's rubbing the public employees' noses in it.

I thought most states didn't allow double-dipping.
