Now think about this for a moment.
This state Senator currently has a salary of $33,000 a year. She's been in the Oregon legislature for 25 years, and if she retired now she would receive an annual pension from Public Employees Retirement System of around $12,000 a year.
However, if she serves just 3 years on this power council with an annual salary of $142,848, her PERS pension would then be $66,000 a year!
This woman is a personal friend and ally of the governor who is appointing her to this council DESPITE the fact she has no previous experience dealing with energy or fish issues.
How disgusting can you get! Taxpayers once again get screwed.
