Perry makes a $150,000 annual gross salary as Texas govenor. Now, thanks to his early retirement, Perry, 61, gets a monthly retirement annuity of $7,698 before taxes, or $6,588 net. That raises his gross annual salary to more than $240,000

So many government workers in every state are able to soak taxpayers like this, using poorly thought out or deliberately mis-designed retirement and pension rules to double-dip or even triple-dip. Yes, it's legal - but it shouldn't be.

I am running for County Supervisor and I have been saying that we must talk about this double dipping pension bond sense.. Nobody wants to talk about it.. But we are going to. It’s a State decided thing but I am going to keep letting the citizens know what goes on until everyone is mad enough to force the State to change it.

The way I understand this pension system is someone could work ten years for the government and draw a pension when they hit 70. Nice.
