than 1,200 state employees are collecting two or more pensions,
with 131 of them collecting at least two pensions and a salary.
A records review by the St. Petersburg Times found that many of
the state employees receiving more than one pension retired years
ago and work to supplement relatively low retirement payments.
Many are teachers in areas like Miami-Dade County, where the
school system faces a teacher shortage.
But more than 200 elected officials and 200 senior managers have
quietly retired and continued to work, with many remaining in the
same job where they earned their pension.
The triple-dippers - those getting two pensions and a salary -
include school principals, teachers, sheriff's deputies, health
department employees, deputy clerks of the court and other public
employees in Florida
Getting multiple pensions is not illegal in Florida.
