Thank the fathers for being a Democrat state employee, eh Jerry?
Democrats will never hold homosexuals accountable for child
molesting.

(Reuters) - Former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky should be
allowed to keep his state pension of roughly $60,000 a year
despite his 45 child sex abuse convictions, an independent
hearing examiner recommended on Monday.

Finding that state rules for forfeiting pensions due to sex
crimes took effect in 2004 - and that Sandusky was not a Penn
State employee at that time having retired in 1999 - the
examiner said the former assistant football should have his
pension reinstated.

He said Sandusky, 70, should receive his pension retroactively
to October 2012, when it was revoked after he was sentenced to
30 to 60 years in prison for molesting 10 boys over 15 years.

"The Pennsylvania forfeiture law is simply not applicable to
SERS' members (pensioners) who commit crimes after they have
begun receiving their pensions," wrote Michael Bangs, who was
appointed to hear Sandusky�s pension appeal by the governor�s
Office of General Counsel.

In a separate development on Monday, Pennsylvania's attorney
general released a highly anticipated review of the Sandusky
prosecution but found no evidence of political interference by
Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett during his time as attorney
general.

Pamela Hile, a spokeswoman for the State Employees Retirement
System, said Bangs' recommendation will go to the SERS board for
a final determination in "mid-to-late fall."

If the board accepts Bangs� recommendation, Sandusky�s Penn
State pension would be reinstated to Oct. 9, 2012, when he and
his wife, Dottie, lost the $4,900-a-month state benefit.
