Are there multiple layers in the Double-Dipping scam, i.e. Crime
subsidized by the producers?
The 2009 Arkansas
Legislature composed of 135 senators and representatives contained at least 38
employees or former employees of government.Some others did not identify their employment or former employment.
Public school teachers are on yearly contracts ranging from
188 to 217 days.Typically, citizens
understand that the teaching profession is a 9 month job. A topical examination
of the Arkansas legislature indicates there are a number of practicing school
teachers and college professors in the legislative mix.
Questions arise; are teachers and professors being paid
while absent 3-4 months allegedly conducting the people’s business? They are
absent from the classroom almost half of their contractual obligations.Why are they needed?There are other layers of government
employees who fit the above description.
Only in government can such disgusting and unprincipled
conduct be rewarded.
The convoluted schemes to enhance government retirement and
other benefits would take days of research to unravel. Recent legislation to increase bureaucrats and
politician’s retirements came from Gene Jeffress, a former teacher—Act 743.
Doesn’t anyone determine if politicians and bureaucrats
serving in the General Assembly are double-dipping? Equally disgusting, in addition to their 4
month absence, are the untold required meetings throughout the year.
There are inordinate
numbers of government employees in the legislature? Their major thrust appears
to be—expanding government, increasing taxes, and feathering their nests.Government can only be described as a culture
of corruption.
