New Jersey Watchdog exposes public pension double dipper

Published July 20, 2012 4:00am ET



New Jersey comptroller Matthew Boxer is supposed to be the Garden State government’s watchdog, but that apparently doesn’t cover preventing double-dipping from the public till via the state’s public employees pension program by members of his own staff, according to New Jersey Watchdog.org (NJW).

“Investigator Rick Nuel receives $175,254 a year from the state — a $92,000 paycheck plus an $83,254 pension. In June 2011, Nuel retired at age 46 as a State Police captain,” NJW said today. The NJW is affiliated with the Franklin Center for Government and Public Integrity.
