An MTA board member torched Long Island Rail Road leadership Wednesday for not firing dozens of workers caught in a brazen scheme to pad their hours. Board member James O’Donnell skewered LIRR president Rob Free after learning in media reports that dozens of accused scammers still had jobs after they were outed in a scam that saw phony ID cards used to get paid when employees weren’t working. Some of the alleged con artists had reportedly been raking in mounds of overtime before they were busted, he said.
