HTN: State Senate Aide Resigns

After questions were raised whether his job was a "no-show" position, an aide to State Senator Bill Stachowski has abruptly resigned. Raymond Gallagher already draws a state pension and a salary from full-time job at a company that holds a county government contract. He was also about to get a 17-percent pay raise to 20-thousand dollars a year as a "special assistant" working a mere 7 1/2 hours a week. Stachowski insist the resignation has nothing to do with public pressure, only that Gallagher no longer wanted the workload.
