Cops top Port Authority earners list

The New York Post reports:

Twenty-seven of the top 55 earners for the Port Authority last year were police supervisors, including one recently retired sergeant and former professional basketball player who pulled down a whopping $264,114.

Topping the list was Thomas Hoey, a PAPD sergeant, who more than doubled his base salary of $107,464 in 2009 by taking home an additional $156,650 in overtime, according to SeeThroughNY, a government transparency Internet site.

Hoey was the third-highest paid Port Authority employee out of 7,449 staffers at the bi-state agency, according to the site.

They sure are special.
