Stroebel Rolls Out “Double Dipping” Bill
By Wisconsin School Administrators Alliance staff | September 14, 2011
Freshman Rep. Duey Stroebel, R-Cedarburg, has rolled out legislation to ban what he calls “double dipping” under the Wisconsin Retirement System.
The legislation would cancel state pension payouts for WRS participants who return to work at a half-time or greater level. Stroebel wrote to colleagues that the bill “enhances the solvency of the WRS and allows other residents a better chance to begin a new career in Wisconsin public service.”
Pension payouts made headlines last week after a UW-Green Bay administrator was rehired after he retired and began collecting pension payments this spring. Campus officials said the move was cost-effective and in the best interest of students.
The bill draft is currently circulating for co-sponsorship and will likely be formally introduced early in October.
