4 Madison Retirees Get $100K Pensions

News website New Jersey Watchdog this week released a list of 1,244 retired New Jersey public employees who receive more than $100,000 a year in pension payments, and three former Madison employees are on the so-called "$100K Club" list.

Two former superintendents, Dr. Richard Noonan and Dr. Arthur L. Travlos, and a fire chief, Douglas Atchison, are the former Madison employees on the list.

Of those three, Noonan receives the most at $108,062, according to the report. He retired from Madison in 2010 and now works as superintendent for the Wallingford-Swarthmore School District in Pennsylvania, where he makes about $220,000 in that position, the Delaware County Daily Times reported in November.

Travlos receives $103,211 in pension and Atchison receives $100,792.

One person on the statewide list, Robert Lucid, now works in Madison. He is director of Public Safety for Drew University. The former Summit police chief receives an annual pension of $118,073, the report says.
