How they voted: Michigan lawmakers OK increased hunting fees, loosen off-road vehicle regulations

How they voted: Michigan lawmakers OK increased hunting fees, loosen off-road vehicle regulations | MLive.com:
This is burried in the report:
"RETIRED CORRECTIONS OFFICERS: The House on Tuesday approved a bill that will extend a law allowing retired corrections officers to work part-time for another two years while still receiving their pensions. 
State use of retired correction officers, first approved in 2012, was supposed to be a temporary way to reduce overtime costs for full-time officers, but the state says it has not been able to hire fast enough to replace retired workers.
HB 4664, sponsored by state Rep. Greg MacMaster, R-Kewadin, passed the House in a 58-50 vote and is now headed to the governor's desk."

Pure double-dipping!
Get yer full pension.
Get yer "part-time" pay.
Oh. 
And remember we're havin' a tough time finding folks willing to work.....
