He also proposed allowing the state to
strip pension payments from elected officials convicted of crimes related to their public office, regardless of when that official was first elected.
According to the report, despite the convictions, Percoco is eligible to collect $ 36,000 a year in
pension money, despite a new law that was passed in the fall that would authorize a judge to cut or reduce
pension payments for public officials found guilty of a felony crime, but since Percoco's crimes were committed before Jan. 1, he will not be
stripped of his
payments.
