You have heard of ghost riders

now let me introduce you to 'ghost workers' in our state capital.

It is similar to an illegal immigrant worker type program. The workers exist on paper in one form, but really exist in another form in reality. The ghost worker program is "a practice in which legislators hire as "full-time" employees people who do little or no work -- but happen to be former lawmakers and public employees who want to double-dip or extend their lucrative retirement and other benefits. Benefits which only accrue as "full-time" employees."

Common theme between the illegal immigrant worker and ghost worker program - We as taxpayers pay for it!
