Pennsylvania's oldest state lawmaker, 84, won't seek re-election

After 38 years, Pennsylvania State Rep. Camille "Bud" George has announced he will not seek a 20th term in the House.

George is the latest career politician to call it quits this year as the exodus from the Legislature continues.

George, 84, a Democrat, has represented Clearfield County in the state Legislature since Gerald Ford was in the White House.

George can now enjoy a lifetime pension (courtesy of Pennsylvania taxpayers) that could approach $100,000 a year.
