Former Moorestown Administrators Members of "$100K Club"

New Jersey Watchdog has compiled a list of more than 1,000 retired public employees collecting $100,000-plus pensions across the state.

Two former administrators are members of what one watchdog group has dubbed the $100K Club—retired public employees collecting six-figure pensions.

Former superintendent Vito Germinario, who left the district in 2002, collected $111,309 last year in pension benefits, while former business administrator Robert J. Oldt pulled down $109,474 in 2011, according to New Jersey Watchdog.

The group said it constructed the list of six-figure retirees—which jumped to 1,244 last year, a 28 percent increase from 2010—from a state Treasury database.

The top pension went to former Essex County College president A. Zachary Yamba, who collected $195,000 last year.

In total, the pensions paid out to those drawing at least $100,000 came to $138,723,987 in 2011.
