"A short retirement for Rotterdam clerk" by Matthew Roy Gazette Reporter Rotterdam - Town Clerk Eunice O. Esposito resigned for a single day in order to become eligible for a state pension, but the Town Board promptly reappointed her to continue on as clerk Wednesday night.
Esposito, a longtime town employee, submitted a letter of resignation to the Town Board in September, in which she resigned effective Wednesday.
The Town Board, accepted her resignated from the $39,179-a-year post. But the board reappointed Esposito to the post, effective Thursday.
Supervisor James A. Constantino and board members Ralph Salerno and John Macejka, all Democrats, voted for the measure; Republican Councilman Joseph Signore abstained. Councilman Vincent Fernandez was absent. "It's just procedure," Esposito said of the move. The board's re-appointment was to fill the remainder of her elected term, through Dec. 31, 1997.
Dennis Tompkins, a spokesman for the state comptroller's office, said that one-day resignations do make a person eligible for benefits.
"it's nothing we encourage, but it's certainly legal," he said
For many people, subsequent earnings in public sector jobs are limited to $11,200-a-year while they collect a pension, Tompkins said, After that pension decreases dollar-for-dollar with earnings.
But that cap does not apply to people age 70 and older, who have no income limits, he said,Esposito is 70.
Esposito is a Democrat who has handily won elections with support from the Republican party as well.

the.pope says "think before you click it" for Rotterdam Town Clerk
Sounds like the same thing Steve did for DeGeorgio. LOL Hey how bout the sweet buyout for Jack Denny. Is allowed to use up boo coo sick time before his actual retirement became effective. Big balls there Pope. You obviously have a "special" interest in the Rotterdam Republicans who never committed a "sin" you didn't excommunicate. FRAUD!
Relax PDQ...it's an election year and it has 'just begun'. But to your point, and your are correct....they (all parties) are guilty of working the system at the taxpayer's expense.
And if that weren't true, there wouldn't be so many primaries. That's why there are so many blanks and why so many of us blanks are tired of hearing....'they all do it'.
It's time for a change!

HeHeHe Good one John Paul. Bumble Mertz, Mair and Saint Peter and Joey are the ones with the axe to grind or better yet the knife in the back works better for these cowards. Steve T swings a big axe too except he never kills the beast. A wounded bear is the worst kind. LOL Right there John Boy?

Pope ~ you're not really suggesting that the town government control overtime by union members are you? Does the same go for PBA and CSEA unions? Or just pick out anyone who fits your attack? The public employees are NOT to blame for their contract rights! It's the elected officials who give them whatever they want.
Watch, if DelGallo/McGarry win you will see someone finally stand up for the taxpayers and not their own self serving interests.
So in other words Del Gallo will fight against overtime and huge public employee pensions?
"While Foreign Terrorists were plotting to murder and maim using homemade bombs in Boston, Democrap officials in Washington DC, Albany and here were busy watching ME and other law abiding American Citizens who are gun owners and taxpayers, in an effort to blame the nation's lack of security on US so that they could have a political scapegoat."
GB ~ Like any 'real' fiscal conservative, these guys understand what it takes to run a small business and manage a budget where they spend money as if were their own! Compare that to other supervisors, including Steve, that spend money as if there is an endless supply.
Taxpaying families and businesses in our town are sick and tired of the politics as usual, including DelGallo. So yea, I would imagine that DelGallo would fight for the taxpayers when it comes to taxes, including the creation of new taxing districts and be a hard negotiator on new contracts. BTW, did we ever find out where Surhada falls on this? Pretty sure he's flip flopped a couple of times, or was that just YOU that flip flopped?
That is really good news then. I am all for private sector business people who know how to make cuts and keep spending down. How much is the police department as a percentage of the town budget? Does anyone know? Will he be against budget growth there as well? I would love to hear from him on this part of his platform.
I like what I hear, But who are the other 'real' conservatives you mention in the first sentence as "these guys?"
