Judge Tommy Thompson of Columbus, Ohio billing 2 courts for work on same day

 

Judge Tommy Thompson is yet another Ohio judge who has dedicated his career to porking out at the public trough.
 
After retiring from the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas in Columbus, Ohio, Judge Tommy Thompson sought appointment to active status from Chief Justice Thomas Moyer. As expected, albeit unfortunately for the taxpayers of Ohio and Judge Thompson’s soon-to-be sea of victims, Chief Justice Thomas Moyer decided that Judge Tommy Thompson merited said appointment.
 
Not satisfied with billing the State and Franklin County for working eight-hour days when his average workday was 3.3 hours, Judge Tommy Thompson then decided it was ethical to collect an additional $350 for working about one hour as a magistrate for the Westerville Mayor’s Court.
 
Put simply, Judge Tommy Thompson was collecting nearly $800 for working four or less hours on the 43 dates listed below. In fact, when Judge Tommy Thompson’s retirement pay is included, his average hourly rate was in excess of $1,100 in 1999 and 2000. Isn’t Ohio a great country?
