Improper pension of $82K paid back : Illinois Says No to Chicago Mob Linked Suburb

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Melrose Park's police chief has quietly paid back more than $82,000 in pension benefits he improperly received while still on the village police force, after the Chicago Sun-Times revealed the unusual arrangement.

Police Chief Sam Pitassi retired in July last year as police chief then was quickly re-hired as a consultant to the village, with essentially the same responsibilities as chief. The Chicago Sun-Times first reported the unusual deal in April.
