The state labor chief - caught off-guard last spring by a series of Herald exposes that showed retired cops, vacationing teachers, election officials and others pocketing unemployment pay - is vowing to close loopholes and push a new law to stop scheming city and town workers from "gaming the system."
"To taxpayers, we have a message that we hear your concerns. We share that you should be paying only (unemployment) costs for those individuals who are entitled to it," state labor secretary Joanne Goldstein told the Herald yesterday.
