The Washington Times reports:
A D.C. deputy fire chief remains an employee of the District despite working as a county fire chief in Florida as part of an arrangement that will allow him to receive retirement benefits for five years that he otherwise would not be entitled to collect.
Could you get this deal in the private sector?:
The arrangement will allow Chief Ellerbe, whose salary was $149,892 this year and last year, to start collecting 80 percent of his salary when he turns 50 in April, instead of deferring his retirement benefits until he turns 55.
Government workers sure are special!
