Excessive Government Pay

There are waste, fraud and abuse hotlines out there you can use, but be careful. You might think someone is overpaid but what seems like too much money to you might be completely in line with what obtaining those services actually costs.

Khurshid Abdul-Mutakabbir, who was removed as principal of a New York City High School last July for using fraudulent schemes to boost his school’s graduation rate can never again work with city students — but will get a $1.8 million desk job.

Subsequently, the City awarded him a seven-year sinecure worth almost $260,000 annually not counting step-raises, a pension, and lifetime health insurance.

I think that there is a law making it illegal for the government to pay out money except when it receives in return something comparable value.

I admit that how much is comparable value can be subjective.

I think that the present arrangement should shock the conscience.

How can I stop it?

I suppose you could sue the government but the reason the government is paying that is likely because the person in question had an iron clad employment contract.

This doesn't look like excessive public sector pay.

This is private contractors screwing the system like they all do.

When I worked for the social security a contractor came in and found £20000 worth of savings and for finding those savings the government was charged £30000, a net loss of £10000.

The only way to stop it is to do everything in house and stop putting contracts up for private tender.
