THE RECORD
Two of the top executives at Passaic County’s One Stop Career Center received more than $210,000 in unauthorized overtime, according to state records.
The discovery has triggered an investigation by the county prosecutor and demands by the state for reimbursement — money that might have to come from county taxpayers, state and county officials said.
“It concerned me enough to have some real legal questions,” said Bruce James, a county freeholder who is also a board trustee for the corporation created by the county to run the center.
