The former head of the Mass. prisons department, forced out by Gov. Mitt Romney in the wake of the prison slaying of defrocked priest John J. Geoghan, has landed a new job with the Norfolk County jail. Michael T. Maloney's new job eventually may allow him to reapply for a lucrative state pension that he has already been denied, according to a report in The Boston Globe. Maloney, the former commissioner of the state Department of Correction, started his job as programs and classification administrator at the Norfolk County Correctional Center in Dedham on April 29. In the new job, which pays $87,000 annually according to Norfolk County sheriff's department spokesman David Falcone, Maloney works inside the jail dealing with prisoners, unlike most managers who have offices in a separate wing away from inmates. Maloney, 53, was forced out by Romney in December, but was allowed to stay on the state payroll on medical leave until March 31. He applied for an $82,000 per year state pension, but the state pension board said he did not qualify because as a white-collar bureaucrat, he did not serve in an inherently risky job, and instead figured his pension at $41,000. But working in the county facility may revive his efforts for the higher pension. Maloney told The Boston Globe through a spokesman last Thursday that his pension was not a consideration when he took the new job. |
