Wow thats a lot of extra money...this is the exact reason our public pensions are in the shape that they are in!

Unbelievable, double dipping? What is going on with the Frankfort police department?. Are there goin to be any ramifications from this? How can he pull people over if he isn't a police officer any more.

Charge him with attempted theft and fraud. Cancel the crook's pension.

He is trying to steal from all of us taxpayers, folks. Pension padding is a CRIME.

I want to thank the police officers who stepped up an questioned the pension credits. If more people did this we wouldn't have pensioners collecting who do not qualify. Maybe our mayor ought to look into the ethics of his assistant village administrator.

the tribune story says that the pension credit will be set back to the time he was police chief but that he will still get the benefit in the formula of the higher salary. The pension code says that the salary used in the formula should the "the salary attached to the rank at the time of retiremen." The only salary that should be used in the calculatiion is the police chief salary,not any increase becuase he had Village administration duties.

Anybody guess WHY he has that big grin on his pug ?

Because he'll move to Florida to golf more and live a nice long life on your dime.

What a scam he tried to pull......I give a lot of credit to the other Frankfort Officers for calling it to the table. Especially in a small town like Frankfort where you could hurt your future potential within the department.

Who does he think he is ? Tim Balderman from New Lenox ?

If they try to steal from the taxpayers, charge them with crimes. They DO know the law, I assume.

It's time for Mayor Holland and Village Administrator Ducay to address this issue and not try to continue to hide it! They work for the citizens of Frankfort not the other way around. Many of us realize that it is time for the Mayor to step down and for both Ducay and Piscia be immediately replaced with only one person that has good character, ethics, morals, and will abide by the law as the Village Administrator. Time to clean up Frankfort! Out with the Trash!!!

Looks like it's time for someone else to run for Mayor of Frankfort since Jim Holland appears to have no control over the "hired staff!"

Crook County has nothing on the Village of Frankfort.

Village Administrator Jerry Ducay makes $142,000+ per year, full benefits, retirement, expense account, plus get a top pf the line new Ford Expedition with the tow package to pull his personal boat and family to and from the lake. Yes it does include gasoline and insurance! Nice perk!

AND;

Assistant Village Administrator Robert Piscia makes $117,000+ per year plus all of the same benefits as Jerry Ducay who also has a Village of Frankfort top of the line Ford Expedition with the tow package so he can pull a trailer to haul his kids stuff back and forth to college. Another nice perk!

All bought and paid for by the hard working citizens of Frankfort.

They should be driving cars that get about 30 to 40 miles per gallon and not these gas eating SUV's, but then they could not pull their boats and trailers!

Mayor Holland where are you? The taxpayers needs to know! Are you aloof with Jessie Jackson Jr.?

Once again I am calling for us to throw out the trash!

Keep this going, we need answers and results. Will the Will County States Attorney be willing to look into this and maybe refer it to the Illinois Attorney general ?

George

You are right, is Mayor Holland sitting in Clint Eastwood's chair ? Ducay and Pescia need to be held responsible for their actions. STOP the PERKS ....NOW !!! Does the Village Board have what it takes to stand up to Mayor Holland and have some questions answered. We taxpayers are footing the bill for these thugs......Hold them accountable for their actions and bring charges if warranted.

I agree with all of you! We need for Will County States Attonrey Glaskow and also Attorney General Madigan investigate Holland, Ducay, and Piscia ASAP! I just heard Holland has announced his reelection for Mayor. Are you kidding me! A Mayor who stated he did not know about Piscia's pension benefits. Your the Mayor, you should know about all of your staff's pension especially when it is illegal. I agree that we need a new Mayor. Holland you have overstayed your welcome. Please hurry up and fade into the sunset. THe people don't need you!

where was the local media on this one? in the village pockets?

Hey Scorpion learn how to spell you idiot. Also before you run off at the mouth you should at least get the facts. You just sound like an uneducated fool

Do you really think that just because there was an article in the Tribune, that it was all factual? All im saying is that all these people here are bashing someone without knowing any of the facts. How do you or anybody else actually know what really happened? I certainly dont know about any pension deal thats why I am not accusing people of any wrong doing until there is actually proof and not just some newspaper article in the Tribune. You have to know that not everything you read or hear is true, because you do sound like an intelligent person. As for you saying I may be "Part of the Problem" and calling me a "Good Old Boy" I dont even know them. It just seems crazy to me that all these people are basing their opinions on a Tribune article. Maybe my beef should be with the Tribune?

Ben

First you label me as an idiot, then say I sound like an intelligent person....how does that relate to an uneducated fool ???

The facts may not all be there, but I would bet that if some FOI requests were submitted, you would be as upset about this as I and some others are

Sorry I called you an uneducated fool and an idiot. That was wrong, I dont even know you. But my problem is if this was something that was wrong isnt there some kind of committee or special board that looks at this stuff.? If he was doing something so wrong then why didnt this come up earlier? What are the people on the committee doing? Do you think this could be certain people with a grudge that want to make trouble? I just find it hard to believe that if this was such a big deal, that the pension committee would have stopped it earlier. Who is on that committe anyway, do you know?

Hey Ben. My instincts tell me either you are a village hall employee or a spouse of a village hall employee. Everyone else with comments is upset as it would seem as a taxpayer, citizen, former, or current village police offier. Let people voice their concern about the double dipping pensions. Did you read about whats going on in New Lenox. Illinois is broke from the pension crisis. My boyfriend knows many officers in Frankfort and New Lenox and they are all very upset. I'm surprised you are not! And you are worried about spelling when you slam scorpion so it does appear you may be one of the people in question. Think about that.

Christy I can tell you honestly I am neither a spouse or a hall employee, and I never said they couldn't voice their concerns. I just feel like all these people are slamming others and non of them have the facts. Before I accuse peopel of things I probably would like to at least know a little bit about the facts. Im just asking if it was so bad why is it just being brought up now. Isnt there some kind of committe or something that looks at this stuff, and if there is why didnt they say something then? Illinois is broke because of the idiots in charge.

I spelled none wrong

and people

spell check is just a crutch..

If what you say is truth and there is a police officer on the committe, then why wasn't it brought up before? Especially if there is an officer on the committee?

So there are two Officers on the committee and not one of them said something before now? They are on the committe for a reason, and it seems like they have no idea what the rules are, or what they are doing. Maybe the whole committe needs to be replaced with people that know the rules, so they can let people know what they are and are not allowed to do. Then we wouldn't have situations like this where people are questioning other people's integrity. Let's replace that committee

I never get upset or pass judgment on somebody especially something this serious unless I have proof that someone did something wrong, and not just what some newspaper spinning stories to sell newspapers say.

Don't worry, residents. This latest pension scam will only cost each of you homeowners another $20 / month on your tax bill. We all need to pitch-in to support these lowlifes.

Sorry, I was mistaken. The Pension Board consist of the Village Treasurer, two police officers, one retired police officer and two civilians appointed by the Mayor. They meet quarterly, but it is weird, that if you look at the Village calender, the Pension Board meetings do not show up on the list of scheduled meetings. If they do show up, they list an agenda, but NEVER have minutes available. Does anyone know the names of the Pension Board members ?? Is Demetrius Karos still the Village Treasurer ??? Does he know anything about the deal made to enhance the pension of Piscia ?? Who is the retired officer on the Board ?? Who are the civilians ? Who are the employed officers ? When is the next meeting and where will it be ???

Chicago Tribune reports that there was a Police Pension Board meeting today at 12:30PM. Does anyone know what took place at the meeting ???

If the guy is making $117,000.00 per year now what will his pension from Frankfort
be in a few years? We need to have these positions reviewed by an independent
consultant. Do we really need an assistant administraor? I would like to see his job
duties. Who are these town officials kidding. I guess it's the tax payers
