Makes sense. Pay for Maine State Senators is about 16K for the first session, and 12 K for the second, plus per diem (lodging and meals). Since he lives so close to Augusta, he gets only a small amount of mileage, plus there is a small amount for “constituent serves”.
He does some consulting work, and I don't know what other outside pay he has.
