Yashar a full pension. The move was sharply criticized by the governor and lawmakers who argued that Yashar's eight months of unpaid leave should not have counted toward the pension. In following the standard protocol for determining court pensions, Court Administrator J. Joseph Baxter included the eight months, boosting Yashar's pension from $81,650 to $120,310. Attorney General Patrick C. Lynch plans to ask a Superior Court judge tomorrow to interpret the law as it pertains to Yashar’s pension.

HER BEHAVIOR WAS EMBARASSING TO EVERY ONE IN RI BUT IT SHOULD PARTICULARLY EMBARASS THE JUDICIARY - THEN TO ADD INSULT TO INJURY THEY GIVE HER A FULL PENSION - AS SOMEONE WHO HAS WORKED IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR ALL OF MY LIFE, THIS KIND OF INCIDENT JUST REINFORCES MY BELIEF THAT WE SHOULD CHANGE OUR NAME TO "CORRUPTION, USA". SHE MAKES DEALS, CAUSES PROPERTY DAMAGE, AIRS HER "DIRTY LAUNDRY" IN PUBLIC (AND FLORIDA, TOO) AND STILL GETS THE "WHOLE PIE" INSTEAD OF THE VERY SLIM PIECE SHE IS ENTITLED TO. MR. BAXTER SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF HIMSELF - MAYBE SOMEONE SHOULD REVIEW HIS RECORD TO SEE IF HE CAN BE REPLACED WITH SOMEONE WHO HAS MORALS AND INTEGRITY. ONE HAS TO WONDER IF A PERSON LIKE THAT (MORALS, ETC.) EXISTS IN "LITTLE RHODY".
