While state employees have seen their paychecks dwindle as they shell out more for health care and pension benefits, some Department of Justice employees were handed merit pay bonuses last month. WKOW-TV/Channel 27 reporter Tony Galli reported the bonuses on his blog last week after obtaining records showing $289,629 in payouts to 93 DOJ staffers. That?s an average of $3,114 each.
