Ok, Union supporters, justify this!

It started when a local talk radio host (Mark Belling, WISN, Milwaukee) exposed a situation at the University of Wisconsin-Green Bay, where a school administrator "retired", then just a short time later, in the same position. Now Tom Maki is collecting BOTH paycheck and pension for doing the job from which he supposedly retired. State laws does allow for the rehiring of retired workers, but there can be no deals cut prior to the retirement, and the position has to be posted publicly. In other words, in order to be rehired, the retired person has to compete for the job. But in the case of Maki, there are emails proving that the deal was set, even before he announced his retirement. Once this story broke, there have been other examples of the same kind of deal going on all over the state. Almost all of them in either the UW system, or public schools. This should irk the cookies of union supporters and opponents equally. How many union members are being denied these positions just because the person "retiring" and their buddies are playing these games? How many taxpayer dollars are wasted almost double paying for the same position? Of course, the word from the left is, "so what" at best, and at worst, the actions are defended. Sorry, but there is no defending this fraud. If you do, then well.. you're just as crooked as these criminals.
