Double, Triple Dippers In The Legislature
By Art Gallagher
36 of the 120 members of the NJ Legislature, 9 of them Republicans, hold additional government jobs, according to this piece at NJ.com.
Hudson County Senator Nicholas Sacco is the biggest money maker, pulling in $214,260 as an assistant school superintendent in North Bergen.
Union County Assemblyman Joe Cryan, the majority leader and former state Democratic Chairman makes $111,772 as a Union County Undersheriff.
Of the Monmouth County legislative delegation, only Senator Sean Kean is on the list. Kean makes “at least” $25,000 per gig as an attorney for Tinton Falls and Howell. Kean also makes less than $10,000 as an attorney for Union Beach, according the the graphic in the NJ.com piece.
Kean is the only practicing attorney in the Monmouth County delegation. Assemblywoman Caroline Casagrande is an attorney but is not practicing. She is a full time legislator and a full time mom.
