Fat Pensions Weigh Down Skelos Home County

Majority Leader Skelos need not look upstate to find reasons for fiscal woe...His home Nassau County is a good place to start since this past week the county lost control of its own fiscal management to a state watchdog.....
And who knows, Mr. Skelos may have gotten an X-ray at the Nassau Medical Center from radiologist Dr. Dvorah Balsam who is retired now on a public pension of $191,000 a year.

Pensions of a 191000 for a doctor. I would think this is close to 2/3 his total income as a state doctor. It is those that make an annual salary of 89,000 and bring home a retirement check of 105,000.

Most, but not all of course, state docs use the job to provide free insurance. Then they practice privately as well to make their real bucks. This really isn't news and the numbers aren't out of line. You dumb taxpayers just have no idea.
