Assemblywoman Joan Millman Admits to DOUBLE-DIPPING:
Collects Two Government Paychecks at the Same Time
Then Lied in a Debate about Having No Alternative
At a debate held last week by the Brooklyn Paper, Assemblywoman Joan Millman admitted that she collects two taxpayer-funded paychecks: A six-figure salary (when lulus and perks are added in) for her position in the Legislature, and a government pension whose amount is unknown because Millman failed to list the amount on her state financial fillings even though she is legally required to do so.

At that debate, Millman lied when she reported that she could not defer her pension. Not so, the online editions of the Brooklyn Paper and New York Post reported yesterday: “Actually, you can (defer your pension). According to the Teachers Retirement System website, educators can voluntarily suspend their retirement allowance by filing a ‘Retirement Allowance Suspension / Resumption Form.’”
