TV-11 adds context to rehired annuitant story

WLUK-TV reporter Mark Leland filed a story last Thursday that examined the practice of rehiring public employees after retirement. Although the piece used the term “double dipping” throughout, it also pointed out that at least half of the rehired annuitant cases statewide are at the K-12 level, and that the practice has both advocates and critics and in any event is not limited to a single university campus. Communications director Christopher Sampson was interviewed for the University and UW System perspective.
