NJ “Public Servant” Lands Sixth Government Job, Total Salary Approaching $300,000

Reason reports:
The city of Highlands, New Jersey hired Patrick DeBlasio to be its chief financial officer, a part time job for which he’ll have no minimum hours and won’t have to show up at the office, paying him $40,000 a year. It's no mere double dip for DeBlasio, it's actually his sixth government job. He was paid $244,606 last year, nearly $70,000 more than the state’s governor. He holds five other jobs in four municipalities, including full time work as CFO of Carteret, NJ, as well as a part time job with the town’s school district.
You'll never hear Barack Obama or the Center For American Progress talk about the greed of overpaid government workers.
