Full story: The Press Enterprise Online Newspaper

Although Andrew Shaffer is charged with stealing carpet worth almost $10,000 from Bloomsburg University, he does not appear to be in danger of losing the $3,200-a-month state pension he earned during his 27 years working at BU, even if convicted.

It is no wonder our state of PA is flat broke.

Here we have a Bloomsburg University worker charged with stealing $10K from the University. He was paid $56K a year for what was probably part time work driving a shuttle bus, and also likely received very generous free educational benefits from the University for his children.

Now we find out even though this was a grand theft type of crime against the University that he is still eligible for his extremely generous 38K pension after only 27 years.

These overpaid, over pensioned employees have the audacity to call themselves public servants? Give me a break!
poor sucker

$3,200 a month pension!! He could have easily purchased his own carpet. I live on $940 disability and can't afford most things, but never in a million years would I steal it!!! With my luck anyway, I would be caught sneaking out on my first attempt and go to jail for 10 years and lose everything. But, that's raw justice for ya!

Daily Horoscope for December 26

Cancer

Mercury turning retro is offering you the chance to make sweeping and long-lasting changes to your life, and to clear the ground for some fertile growth in 2010. Lawyers and legal matters, debates, contract negotiations, partnership or other alliances, and joint ventures of any kind need attention. As a Cancerian you don't like endings, but you must now bring an end to any situation or relationship that is holding you back or has passed its sell-by date. Look forward, not back, if you want a glittering future.
