Perry "Retires" to Boost Pension Pay — 2012 Presidential Election The Texas Tribune
Perry officially retired in January so he could start collecting his lucrative pension benefits early, but he still gets to collect his salary — and has in turn dramatically boosted his take-home pay.Perry makes a $150,000 annual gross salary as Texas governor.
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.
Obviously, this is a guy that loves government employment and he feels he really deserves the tax payers largess. Another small government Republican who hates government unless he's collecting from it.
