An audit by the Nassau County comptroller's office shows the Oceanside garbage chief is really cleaning up taxpayer's money.
Audits show Charles Scarlata, District 7's general sanitation supervisor, is pulling in a base salary of $146,000 per year. 'Salary adjustments' such as comp time and bonuses push his pay to more than $240,000.
Scarlata also has a $125,000 yearly pension, up to 800 days in termination pay and an allotment of $25,000 a year for 15 years.
The comptroller's office says Scarlata did not comply with auditors. It describes him as "verbally hostile and abusive."
