• Description/Excerpt: Sean P. Murphy of the Boston Globe used state data to show that "while the Romney administration has criticized excessive sick time payouts at the Massachusetts Turnpike Authority, another agency the governor controls, the Massachusetts Port Authority, has paid more than $6.2 million to departing employees for unused sick time over the past five years." Some longtime employees have received $200,000 payments for the leftover leave.
