Palladini spent 30 years in the field as a federal law enforcement officer. Here, she discusses what the worst job in law enforcement is, what parts of police scandals the movies get right, and why there’s more scrutiny today on cops than ever before. Full story

Newsmakers

Richard Malamud, professor of accounting and finance, had his article, “The Effect of Reduced Social Security and Higher Taxes Upon the Death of a Spouse,” published in the July 1 edition of the Elder Client Planner. In the article, Malamud discusses how cash flow is affected upon the death of a spouse. He details a hypothetical example in which the survivor's income is reduced by the lower of the two social security benefits and then shows how the income tax actually goes up, even though the taxable income goes down. He then raises the question of how the surviving spouse should deal with this lower income.
