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.
