How much is he able to take home now that he’s drawing both a pension and a paycheck? I doubt his pension is only 15% of his old salary. That’s some pay “cut.”

What’s hilarious to me is that Jones and company completely wrap themselves in the idiocy of the Tea Baggers, just like the rest of the inbreds who vote Republican in this county of Big Time Wrestling fans and Walmart shoppers. This same idiot crowd which makes war on 40k math teachers don’t even comprehend the sleazy irony of one of their own darlings soaking taxpayers for at least 70k in annual pension payments in addition to 90k in his “reduced” salary. Yes, Jones and his inner circle are just pure victims of an evil government. If only something could be done about those greedy school teachers and street workers.

Sure Jeff Gebhart and the FOP is supportive of the move, Dwyer was the one who represented the county in negotiations that gave the deputies their recent pay raise.

If they would stop after saying the retire-rehire process is permitted,it would be more understanding. The article says he is going to take a pay cut, he was looking at other options, maybe a police chief, but it also said he wanted to retain his second-in-command position with the county. He said that someone would have to fill his position anyway. Yes, but their initial salary may not have been as high as his and there would be a need to fill the position of his replacement, probably at a lesser initial pay scale. The chances of finding a position of police chief at the current pay rate would be minimal. His pension will be maybe a little more that $65,00, plus his pay, and add the 14% going into an anuity that he will get later on. That equals pay cut?

I see nothing wrong with this being done. It is done alot and if it saves Butler County money that is great. Dwyer has been an asset to Butler County for years!It amazes me how some people seem to blame republicans and the Tea Party for anything they don’t like. This is the USA and we all have a right to our own opinion! But please be informed when you give your opinion. I read and learn what things are really about not just what I think they should be. It is a good thing some people can’t run this county or country on their opinions alone. This country would be in worse shape than it is now. I think people need to focus on the next election so we can go back to being the United States of America and use the constitution to run it….It is a shame to see how ignorant some people are when it comes to politics. Just because I don’t think the same way you do does NOT mean I am imbred or stupid! I support our teachers too!Good luck to you Mr. Dwyer!!PS. Oh, and by the way he earned his pension!!

Of course Sheriff Rick Jones would not care about Dwyer retiring and then rehiring him Because our Sheriff Rick Jones is a double dipper himself!!! A few years ago our Sheriff Jones retired on the public employee retirement system, immediately ran for sheriff again, got elected and now enjoys the benefit of the taxpayers giving him 2 paychecks also.

Mr. Dwyer is a good guy. However the system that takes your tax dollars to pay him in retirement and then pay him to work at the same time is corrupt and hypocritical. If he is still able to work, then he is should not be paid by tax dollars (okay subsidized by tax dollars - he probably put some of his tax funded pay aside too) as “retired.” It’s a fraudulent self serving scheme to REWARD government workers and it reeks of corruption.

You people don’t get it yet! Jones can’t run a Sheriff Dept. without someone else who has knowledge of it. He’s never did any active policing, he just shows up for the camera and radio. A police office of any kind, he is NOT! Nor can he budget his dept. Time for a NEW SHERIFF IN TOWN!

If you all only knew. Sheriff Rickey needs Tony the terror because the Sheriff has never done law enforcement. He was a prison guard, he never comes to staff meetings, and has no idea what is going on at the department. All he does go to breakfast, play raquetball at the Y, and call Cunningham to say what a great job he does. He is an embarrassment to all of us. Stump gets fired, and they find him a new job. Norm retires and make more when he is re-hired, now Tony. This place is a joke.

Remember that jail was for Butler County inmates not the rest of the states trash. Wake up people we were lied to about how bad we needed that prison sized county jail.

“Re`tire� 1.To withdraw; to take away; 2.To withdraw from circulation, or from the market; 3.To cause to retire; specifically, to designate as no longer qualified for active service; to place on the retired list.” Enough said! GOP= thieves. The whole lot of them should burn in hell.

The pension is set up so a person has to retire by a certain number of years worked or they LOSE money. Maybe right now wasn’t a good time for him to take a 30% pay cut. Maybe he has bills to pay. All of you complainers should know that he paid a substantial amount of money into his pension and will never be eligible for social security. Instead of always trying to knock someone else down, why don’t you try to lift yourself up for once. Unions protected everyone at one time, now you are whining about the few who still have protection because you were too weak to keep your own union strong. Instead you allow the corporate fear campaign to lead you around by the nose.

Food for thought…get it right. He didn’t pay his own retirement…the county “picked up” the tab for that. You and I might have to pay into social security but we have to pay for these gov’t worker’s retirement too. You can see the deduction on our paychecks for Social Security but they don’t have a deduction for PERS. If gov’t workers were forced to pay their own, this country would be in the black again. You hear the commissioners making decisions to cut services to us but you never hear them talk about making the employees paying for their own retirement. Why? Because we are paying for the Commish retirement too!

Comments by “get it right” only indicate that they could not have gone past the 3rd grade! Everything they blowed about is false. Every government worker has deductions made from their pay checks towards the public employment retirement system - just like all non government workers have deductions for their social security deducted.

You should educate yourself before you speak. Employee’s who pay into PERS do pay for their retirement. True, taxpayers pay our salaries, and by us working I guess that means we are also taxpayers. I personally pay 10.10 percent of my salary into MY retirement. The other part is also paid by me as I am a taxpayer. The tax dollars I EARN come from me working and responding to your house because you were the victim of crime, you have a neighbor dispute. And the firefighter who will put their life down to save yours or your family members life. Go back to school “get it right.” By the way…YOUR WELCOME!!!

That’s interesting the nice comments about the SO’s second in command. Try working for Chief Dwyer. If you are in the inner circle or part of the good ole boys club, your favored and taken care of. There are a lot of good deputies that are treated poorly because they are not buddy-buddy with the administration. I can’t wait until SB5 is made law. Even though the administration opposes the Bill, just wait and see how many good deputies are dismissed because they are in the outer circle and the political favorite employees are retained. Jones and Dwyer don’t LIE to us!! SB5 will be a big advantage for your administration. —-One of your loyal employees…but not your friend!!!

The trouble I have with double dippers is their lack of a vested interest in ALL involved. They tend to see things differently, they have a great gig and it amounts to them trying to hang onto it and keep ‘their’ kind all around them for safety. Double dippers beget double dippers:(
