Atlantic City has proven to be the land of the riches for some—or at least for cops. According to a report by the New Jersey State Commission of Investigation in 2009, 160 retiring police and firefighters received $13.7 million for unused sick leave—that’s in addition to hefty pension plans. Former police chief John Mooney takes the top spot with a pension of $147,016.
