From the article this thread was based on.

An annuity, to me, sounds like an insurance instrument that one would contribute to..as opposed to a state funded pension. That sounds like a good thing, imho.
In my previous posts, I have indicated, I don’t have a problem with Gov. Perry drawing these funds,even if were a state funded pension. It is due to him.Many people work for the state (and private industry for that matter) for the benefits. No crime in that. I don’t see that it “looks bad” at all.
I did find it unusual that the article said he “retired”. As far as I know he is still the Governor of Texas.
This is a tempest in a teapot..to make Perry look bad, imho.
