Illinois Democrat Politicians = Political Pool Sharks

Published by Sam Pierce

I was perusing the headlines of the on-line version of my former hometown newspaper, The Telegraph, and I noticed the following eye-catching title. “Former legislator getting golden parachute.” Before clicking the link, I thought Chicago Democrat. It came as no shock to read that the swindler in question is former state senator Carol Ronen, Democrat from Chicago (7th District.) From The Telegraph:

CHICAGO (AP) — A Chicago newspaper reports that former State Senator Carol Ronen worked only eight weeks in Governor Rod Blagojevich’s office earlier this years but is being rewarded for her brief service with a golden parachute.

According to the Chicago Sun-Times, the job in the governor’s office means that the 63-year-old Ronen will receive nearly $38,000 in increased pension pay a year for the rest of her life.

Ronen’s stint as a Blagojevich senior adviser is enabling the governor’s one-time Senate floor leader to get a $102,000-a-year state pension. Ronen will thus earn 35 percent more in retirement than she did as a $75,301-a-year legislator.

Had Blagojevich not hired Ronen and had she retired from the Senate at this time, her pension would be $64,005 annually.
