   Thank the fathers for being a Democrat state employee, eh Jerry?   
    Democrats will never hold homosexuals accountable for child   
   molesting.   
      
   (Reuters) - Former Penn State coach Jerry Sandusky should be   
   allowed to keep his state pension of roughly $60,000 a year   
   despite his 45 child sex abuse convictions, an independent   
   hearing examiner recommended on Monday.   
      
   Finding that state rules for forfeiting pensions due to sex   
   crimes took effect in 2004 - and that Sandusky was not a Penn   
   State employee at that time having retired in 1999 - the   
   examiner said the former assistant football should have his   
   pension reinstated.   
      
   He said Sandusky, 70, should receive his pension retroactively   
   to October 2012, when it was revoked after he was sentenced to   
   30 to 60 years in prison for molesting 10 boys over 15 years.   
      
   "The Pennsylvania forfeiture law is simply not applicable to   
   SERS' members (pensioners) who commit crimes after they have   
   begun receiving their pensions," wrote Michael Bangs, who was   
   appointed to hear Sandusky’s pension appeal by the governor’s   
   Office of General Counsel.   
      
   In a separate development on Monday, Pennsylvania's attorney   
   general released a highly anticipated review of the Sandusky   
   prosecution but found no evidence of political interference by   
   Pennsylvania Governor Tom Corbett during his time as attorney   
   general.   
      
   Pamela Hile, a spokeswoman for the State Employees Retirement   
   System, said Bangs' recommendation will go to the SERS board for   
   a final determination in "mid-to-late fall."   
      
   If the board accepts Bangs’ recommendation, Sandusky’s Penn   
   State pension would be reinstated to Oct. 9, 2012, when he and   
   his wife, Dottie, lost the $4,900-a-month state benefit.
