AJC 3/26/18 (Will Ga lawmakers’ pensions rise) tells us
that Georgia Legislators’ salaries are $17,342 plus $173 per day during
sessions. These sessions begin in January and end in March.
If there are 40
days in the session, the extra pay is $6,920. The total is $24,262.
These folks have other sources of income and most are
lawyers or business owners.
There are 60 Senators and 180 House Reps in the
Georgia Legislature and the annual contribution to their pension plan is
$600,000 per year. That’s $2500 apiece.
Their pension benefits are based on vesting after 8 years
for $36 per month for each year of service or $720 per month for 20 years’
service payable upon retirement. That’s about the same as an $80,000 annuity
would pay.
If they would agree to pass a Bill that restricts campaign
contributions to only allow registered voters to make campaign contributions
and only for candidates on their ballots so that they worked for us for a
change, I would double their pay and terminate their pension plan.
