Richard Turner
As chief of staff for U.S. Rep. Albio Sires, Turner so far this year has collected $59,333 as of June 30.
Based on figures from the previous two years, he’s due another $62,500, for a total 2011 salary of $121,833.
Turner is also receiving an annual pension of $72,000, having retired as the business administrator of West New York under Sires.
Unable to return to the position once the pension payments began, Turner landed a $48,000 contract from the city this year as a consultant.
Throw in the $5,000 a year he gets as mayor of Weehawken and another annual $5,000 as chairman of North Hudson Regional Fire & Rescue, and Turner’s take this year will top $251,800.
That’s in addition to $121,000 that Turner was paid last year for working for Sires in a taxpayer-funded job.
The previous years: $118,250 (2009), $120,000 (2008), $115,667 (2007), and $16,667 (2006).
All public record.
All paid for in tax dollars.
