Robert Torricelli is back on the federal payroll.
Less than six months after Torricelli left the U.S. Senate, a federal judge named him as Special Master to oversee Honeywell International Inc.’s cleanup of a chromium-contaminated site on the banks of the Hackensack River in Jersey City.
The order by U.S. District Judge Dennis Cavanaugh does not say how much Torricelli will earn, only that he and people he hires “will receive reasonable compensation for their time and expenses,” and that Honeywell will pick up the tab.
Now we know why he stepped down so quietly in the last election- he had a Soprano-esque make-work job lined up for him- welfare for corrupt Democrats, if you will. Presumably he will not be paid in Italian Suits and wide-screen televisions.
