New Jersey Watchdog found that three-fourths of the county
sheriffs in the state are double-dipping, an apparently legal and widespread practice.  Those sheriffs – and their annual double-takes, rounded off to the nearest thousand – include:

• Passaic Co. Sheriff Richard H. Berdnik, $251,000 – $149,000 salary + $102,000 pension
