Regarding "Hundreds set to retire" [News, Dec. 1], it's fiscally irresponsible to schedule unprecedented amounts of overtime for officers who are approaching retirement. They will just use the inflated salaries to retire with six-figure pensions.
Who had this bright idea? This is just another reason why Nassau County will never recover from financial issues.
