Double Dipping At UW Green Bay

If you are like me - you have been wondering how those poor public employees are coping  with that nasty Walker Act 10 thing-a-ma-bob.
It has been exposed that UW-Green Bay Vice Chancellor for Business and Finance Tom Maki retired from this position in March but was immediately re-hired in the same job for the same pay. What does this mean and who cares? Well - it means that Mr. Maki is receiving his pension (estimated at $70k) and his salary of $131k at the same time.
It appears that this revelation has drawn the ire of Steve Nass (Republican from Whitewater)  Chairman of the Assembly Colleges and Universities Committee.  For starters he has stopped the meeting for raising the tuition cap at UW Green Bay.  Would the naive college kids still be backing the college staff IF they found out that their tuition goes up when these crooks get away with screwing the system?
Probably.
