Reply to comment by MarkVII88 in Vermont state trooper suspended during investigation of barracks theft by casewood123

Luckily we don't have to imagine because the publicly accessible salary database is linked directly in the article everyone here definitely read.

Remember that State Police Sergeant about 10 years ago, who was fired and charged for defrauding the state for overtime he didn't work? His FY12 income topped $133K. The only people employed by the state who made more than this guy were Commissioners of Departments, like Children and Families, and the Governor. This guy was fraudulently claiming overtime to bulk up his income, particularly during the 2 years prior to his retirement from the VT State Police. The pension pay of retirees was determined by their level of income in the last 2 years of their employment by the State. So this guy was trying to cash in for life.

What does a seemingly unrelated story from 8 years ago have to do with this ongoing investigation? What does anyone's salary have anything to do with this?
