I agree it's likely someone taking advantage of the system. Any amount of fraud is not right, but I'd rather have it be a firefighter than some of the people I see "working" for the state/federal government robbing the tax payers.

I personally know of about 5 people who make $300k+ a year who should be fired because they do nothing, but the unions saved them, so now they just sit in a room working on "special projects" browsing the web. Many are way past retirement age but continue to work because obviously they have no reason to retire.

Not to mention those who have retired collecting six figure pensions, who then come back as contractors for the state making even more money doing the same job they had before.
