I wonder if he's in a union

Because even though he was working for a municipal gov't- I can't see him getting paid $80K/year for not working because he pissed off his boss.
Than got fired, and then rehired through arbitration, but was told to stay home for seven years.
AND collecting raises, vacation and retirement points.

But, Hey- he's eligible for retirement next year- yay!

I think I remember seeing this about six months ago... with the same pic of him before he probably gained a buttload of poundage.
