have higher salaries than in most state legislative bodies. I believe that they start at $75,000 per year. Once they get in office they are so entrenched that they maxed out on their pension benefits.

It looks like the government is going to make some adjustments into retiree insurance benefits. I've posted the proposed cuts in this thread:
