In 2005, Maine’s nuclear safety inspector position was eliminated by the Legislature. Oddly, the funding for that position has been a little slow catching up so Patrick Dostie, the state’s current nuclear safety inspector, will continue to receive his $71,000 a year salary.
If you read the full story, you’ll see that the whole ordeal has some rather suspicious motivations by certain politicians. I’m sure all the residents of Maine would love to know that part of their taxes are going to pay for a job that hasn’t technically existed for a few years.
File that under your taxes at work.
