LETTER: So many Nevada public ‘servants’ who have no shame

Updated June 1, 2019 - 9:17 pm

What would it be like if we didn’t get to read about another of our public “servants” fleecing the taxpayers? This time, it’s Nevada’s ex-DMV chief Troy Dillard (Sunday Review-Journal).

Not only did Mr. Dillard retire at age 49 with an annual pension of $100,000 that Nevadans will pay for, but he secured his “second job” to supplement his meager retirement at the very company that won the $75 million contract to overhaul the DMV computer system — a project that had to be scrapped at a cost to taxpayers of $26 million. But, hey, Mr. Dillard is doing great.

Is there no shame in these people?
