New Ad for Penn's Woods.

We just had our primary elections today, and that's why I thought I'd unveil the newest ad for Pennsylvania. "Come and visit Penn's Woods. Stay a while. Run for office". The one thing that
Pennsylvania has besides a hard name to spell, is a very large legislature. But even more important, it's a very, very well paid legislature. And once you've had enough and decide to retire, there's every chance that you can retire at up to three times what you were making as a legislator. Let's start with the compensation package. You get paid a comfortable salary as high as $103,000. You get a housing allowance, car allowance, mileage allowance, and then you get a Per-Diem payment for each day you show up for work. There is an excellent package of benefits including one of the best medical, dental, vision plans available, and the retirement plan is to live for. What I said before about getting a retirement pay of up to three times what you make as a sitting lawmaker is true. The best part of the whole deal is that you really don't have to do anything, except maybe argue with members of the other party and stall anything from happening. You never have to worry about passing bad laws because almost nothing gets done. Now, if you happen to be a bit of a shady character, you could get some graft to go along with all of the above compensation and benefits. Oh, and by the way, once elected, you can do anything you want, and still get reelected. It's a deal you can't refuse. So, come on over.
