Double Dipping

[jay]

Read the story in today's Youngstown newspaper.  Sixty-eight Trumbull County employees retired at the end of 2012.  Some of them will be rehired.

to bad that the wrta board does not think like that way. the wrta board of dir accepted the resignations letters from three office staffers, jim ferraro, maryanne, treasurer and an office employee then they rehired all three of them into the same positions. how are you going to keep yg people in this area when actions such as this exist.

If you want to retire......then retire.
Make a job opening for a younger person.

If an elected public official retires while still in office, is this the same as resigning?

Would the office of a retiring elected official be subject to the replacement procedures provided by election law?

Well, It looks as though many elected officials in Mahoning and Trumbull counties are going to retire by year's end but return to the public payroll after the first of January.  The rush to retire is because future retirees will face several benefit reductions mandated in state legislation passed earlier in 2012.

Should retiring public employees be rehired by the same unit of government for which they worked?
