MYFOXNY.COM - Auditors say the New Jersey Turnpike Authority wasted $43 million on unneeded perks and bonuses. In one case, an employee with a base salary of $73,469 earned $321,985 when all payouts and bonuses were included.

They also get a birthday bonus, a paid bowling league, and a ton of other stuff.

How many years of college do you need to be a toll collector?

Sickening.

More confirmation of my huge ****ing FAIL for going to school and getting a degree.

New Jersey, there is a big surprise. Like I said we are now the United States of Fraud. Or the United States of Corruption.

That is better paying then CA lifeguard? $100,000

You get to look at chicks all day but you may have to pull someone out of the surf or have a shark bite your legs off.

Just wait until these toll collecters collect their pension .. max out that OT the last few years.. oopps I forgot that money is gone. They will be ****ed too.

Lifeguards make 100K?

I'm in the wrong business.

The union in many beach cities got the city to have all lifeguards as sworn ff's.

Yup, being a lifeguard in Calif is a pretty good gig.

"Lifeguards make 100K? "

good grief..

i hope they at least have to perform tremendous feats to get the job... like swim 5 miles against the current, wrestle a mako shark, or hold their breath for 10 minutes.

Holy ****. How can this even be possible?!

Why do I have two engineering degrees if lifeguards sitting at the beach ogling bikini babes all day make $100,000.

Because Michigan doesn't have ocean-front property and what water we do have is only swimmable for 4-5 months out of the year?

I am going to start a lifeguard and toll booth collector sckool. At least I can cash in on some of this action. I spent my career getting my ass kicked, dodging cars, being spit on, puked on, inhaling exhaust, smoke, all for less than half of that.

Anyone want to start it with me? We will run ads on TV and recruit people to learn how to collect money and push the button. The lifeguard thing I am sill working out.

Evil republicans? lol

I'll sign up....but put me down for the toll booth class. I can't swim.

I would not be surprise if they don't even have to know how to swim.


Got a friend who is a fireman. Weighs 320 pounds, 6"1". Could not walk up two flights of stairs. No physical training or requirements any more on their department.

'Cause that would be discriminatory.

/it's fun to play with other people's money

Folks it's all relative, just look at the financiers who were making $100's million bundling and selling stinky crap to investors. There is rot everywhere, we are due for a rude awakening sometime in the not so distant future.

You can be a NY librarian and make $600+k

We have an Ex-Toll Collector for the Pa. Turnpike suing to get her job back.

This women with a HS education was a Toll Collector on the Turnpike when she got this job being a Manager of Collections for the Department of Revenue.

Well with zero collections and no managerial experience it wasn't long before she fell flat on her face. Well in August 09 she was let go with 150 other state employees when the belt tightening began.

So of course she is suing the Department of Revenue for her $50K job back for sex discrimination because she says they let her go because she is a woman.

Oh this is the one time I really want to be picked for Jury Duty.

Think about where consumer spending will be when all these pay 10 bucks an hour no benefits like they should.

Must really make all those people in New Jersey paying some of the highest property tax rates, real happy.

I'm pretty sure toll collectors here in Florida make minimum wage. Kinda stinks for the risk of having a gun pulled in your face, which has happened before.

eaglewit - i want them all fired. when i have some time, im going to start petitioning my state assemblyman to do a full scale audit of everything the state pays for

The mistake you make is believing in our economy..it died..when? 1970? Heh, go get your degree, vastly overpriced...going up at 2X inflation in cost every year, then try to compete with some Asian willing to do your job at 1/4 the price...

..oh, and your student loans are not lost in bankruptcy. . .

... oh, and these insane public union salaries you will pay for in high taxes...'

lol...our entire nation is a fantasy of unicorns and moon pies, based on fiat currency and fraud...

...and you really think you have a chance to change this though voting? Really? How many elections have the Democrats stolen thru fraud the last 4 years? And now with 'internet' or electronic voting...come on! We cannot even secure ATMs and now this is supposed to be fraud free...!?
