Pa. sees exodus of veteran, moderate state lawmakers

It doesn't hurt that after serving 10 years in the Pennsylvania Legislature (a part-time job that pays a base salary of $85,000), politicians can collect a lifetime pension, courtesy of the taxpayers.

From WITF.com:
One legacy of Pennsylvania's 2015 budget gridlock may prove to be the
wave of retirement announcements from longtime state lawmakers. More
than a dozen House and Senate members are calling it quits, most of them
with more than a decade of service under their belts. Their reasons
vary.
