That's chump change compared to the Mass SP who allegedly were scamming the system.

This trooper made over $134,000 on a regular pay of $34,457. I would say that is not chump change.
Here is the breakdown:

Starting pay for a trooper is $50K, so the numbers you cite are not what they seem. These guys do a tough, dangerous job; and if they're logging 60(?), 70(?) hours/week in uniform, it's doubly so. In any event, let's get the facts straight before we cast aspersions.

Why do you think I'm casting aspersions? I got this information from the NH government website.
If the information is wrong it isn't because I got the facts wrong.
I do know what the starting pay is for a trooper, so maybe this trooper started working later in the year of 2017. He could of started working in March or April..I really don't why he got less than the starting pay. But regardless what his regular pay is he still put in a lot of extra time.
We as tax payers should be concerned with where our money goes in all government agencies.

If I compare my salary to that of this state trooper there is zero chance I would want to change positions with him. It’s a dangerous and I’m sure very sad ( the things you see )job. If the club/construction company etc is paying the overtime, let them work all they want IMO.

It's hard for me to comprehend how any trade has the potential of working that much overtime & special duty. I would also think that that person might not be alert during regular duty due to working long hours.

You seem to be making the assumption that his "normal" 40 hours are comprised of Regular and Holiday pay only, and that OT and Special duty are in addition to those 40 hours. Even though starting pay for a trooper is more than the combination of Regular and Holiday pay.

It would appear that Special Duty is, at least part of, his "normal" 40 hours. Special Duty could be being called out here as a separate line item because, if I am reading the website correctly, public companies pay that part of his salary.
