Retired FDNY Lt. John McLaughlin receives disability pension despite being known as "Iron Man" - NYPOST.com
Retired FDNY Lt. John McLaughlin has literally run off with a fat, tax-exempted disability pension -- despite being known as "Iron Man" in the Long Island hometown where he regularly trains and competes as a triathlete, The Post has learned. 
The 55-year-old Long Beach councilman was deemed an asthmatic with diminished lung capacity when the city granted him a three-quarters-pay, $86,000-a-year disability pension two months after 9/11 -- earning him the sarcastic moniker "Johnny Lungs" among neighbors.
Another story reminding us why WE need to say "NO!" to any and every tax increase, tax levy, and fee proposed by local government.

    Quantcast uses "look alike" audiences and doesn't really measure actual users, page views, etc. for a given site.

    I'll stick with The News-Herald numbers.
