Port Authority employee earns more than $166,000 in overtime pay

Quote from Spiker:

Public workers would argue , they're also entitled to live the American Dream, and besides that, they also pay taxes.:).

then they should quit, risk their money and their time an start a business.

public workers should not be living the dream. they should be grinding

Government has to compete for skilled workers like every other enterprise.

what a waste of mental capital.
 
You guys are so ignorant you don't even know what you don't know. Wotta display of utter, complete, absolute idiocy.
The Port Authority is....
















....wait for it......

















.....a self-financed, shit, it makes a profit, you asses, public authority. It doesn't cost NYC a dime. In fact, it contributes to NYC's budget.
With that, I'm outta here. Carry on, stupes.
 
Making arguments on the absolute level of the guys pay in NYC is not really fair. Everything costs more there, including public employees.

What they should fix is whatever scenario that caused them to allow this guy massive overtime rather than hiring another employee at a lower rate. And of course the fact that if he's close to retirement that he can game his pension by working overtime.
 
I can not believe the distortion that come from leftists. Govt... Profit? Do you understand where the gov't revenue comes from. The port exploits the bridges and charges tolls and fees for things related to the port (that is just a guess, but it is a pretty good one.)

If the port authority is making more than it spends for the people of the NY or NJ... by charging taxes, tolls and fees great... and this is the important point.... wait........ wait..... wait....

Its not a profit.

Its tax and toll revenue.


It should not be spent willy nilly. Its the people's money.

They are generating revenue on behalf of the people. That is not a profit. I am sure the NY budget is way out of balance.

That money should be keeping other taxes down. It should not be wasted.






.


So as a govt entity or quasi govt entity ... if the port makes a profit it should be paying money into the city budget... not overpaying employees.

I guess leftists do not believe in govt accountability.

You mean like the Post Office?!?! Great Reagan's Ghost!!!
 
You know why most government employees work in government?
Is it because they are patriotic and want to contribute to society?


No.


It's because most of them are too damn dumb and lazy to work anywhere else!
