It's now been a year since our legislators gave themselves that colossal pay hike. It turned out to be a costly raise. The outraged voters fired a state Supreme Court justice along with 17 lawmakers. Thirty others saw the writing on the wall and decided to call it a career. But, like Boy Scouts, they were prepared for retirement.
Talk about golden parachutes!
President Pro Tempore of the Pennsylvania Senate Robert C. Jubelirer, one of those given the boot by voters, will pull in over $105,000 a year forever for his years of "public service."
You and I would need about $2 million in cash to collect this kind of retirement income. Jubelirer's yearly $105,000 is our tax dollars. The rank and file going out to pasture will make out very well also. That's shocking and shameful.

"a child attending Sunday school she would baby-sit the children of migrant workers"
She may (I use that word cautiously) have done it however reluctantly once so now she can say positive that she "blanket" her life with that one event.
I didn't know Park Ridge, Ill was a mecca for migrant workers.
It's really worth reading the rest of it:
"According to a CNN report, Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton (D-New York) in a speech before a religious conference revealed that as a child attending Sunday school she would baby-sit the children of migrant workers so that their older siblings could join their parents at work.
"I was fortunate that at an early age, through my church, I was given the opportunity to expand my horizons," Mrs. Clinton told the 600 adults and teenagers attending the conference.
What CNN did not report was the fact that Mrs. Clinton grew up in Park Ridge, Ill., a well-heeled Chicago suburb that as of year 2000, was 95.4 percent white, had a median family income of $87,795, and had a grand total of 174 families.
The question is, where did she find all those migrant workers?
Mrs. Clinton told us --during her run for the U.S. Senate seat from New York--that she has always been a Yankees fan.
She also claimed she was named after Sir Edmund Hillary who became world-famous after climbing Mt. Everest. That happened six years after Hillary Rodham was born."
I didn't know that the north even had migrant workers in the 50's.....
