So, what was the final
outcome? Did the retiree accept the $135,000 or Did
the State Negotiate a Different Amount?
We have filed an FOI request
to determine the answer.
We will keep you posted.
The following is what has
been written on this subject to date.
On Feb 15, 2012, it was reported State M.E. Carver withdraws his resignation - Connecticut
Post. Therein, the following was
reported-Carver, who is paid $299,783 as medical examiner, said he assumed the
state process would allow him to drop his department head duties and to join
the five other physicians in the office, which has at least one existing
vacancy in its organizational chart. He said he took up the issue with the
state Commission on Medicolegal
Investigations, which governs his office, around the time he
announced his retirement last month from the job he's held since 1989.
On April 2, 2016, Jon Lender of the Hartford
Courant reported Ex-Medical Examiner Sues State, Calling $135,000 Pension Too
Low. Therein, Lender wrote the following-Former chief state
medical examiner H. Wayne Carver II, 64, one of the highest-profile public
officials, whose top salary was more than $300,000 is
suing the state. Carver claims he was shortchanged and should be getting tens
of thousands of dollars more a year under the state's long-established
retirement formula. State retirement officials imposed an IRS-inspired
cap on his benefits when he retired in 2013 after more than three decades of
state service, Carver said in a phone interview Thursday. The article is
