NH also has a state assembly where you earn the incredibly high annual wage of $1/per year + mileage. How much do the state reps in Mass make? How much do they make in retirement? Ask Billy Bulger.
That is the problem of all the liberal states. NY, NJ, IL, MA, CT, RI all have these retired state employees collecting pensions for 30+ years in retirement. Then they all move south to SC & Fl.

That’s a bit unfair....as a retired teacher, from CT, I *paid* into the retirement fund for 33 years. I paid taxes on the money put in; and state income taxes again, on the pension. And so it goes. The State did not hold its end of the bargain, and did/does not pay their mandated share into the retirement fund. CT’s unfunded liabilities is staggering.
