"Retired" NJ budget guru collecting thousands in pension payments

NJ Governor Chris Christie hired Louis C. Goetting in 2010 as a budget guru to help trim the cost of government.  But Goetting resembles a problem, not a solution, according to a New Jersey Watchdog analysis of his employment history.

Despite the fact that Goetting was hired to help with the budget, he has raked in "$1.1 million from two severance payouts and an early retirement deal.  In addition, Goetting collects $219,000 a year from the state – a $130,000 salary plus $89,000 in pension payments."
