Newspaper Article
STATEHOUSE BEAT
2013
Overview
Last week's item about how House Speaker Rick Thompson will be able to bump his state pension up about 168 percent, to $34,200 a year, if he stays in his new appointment as secretary of the Departments of Veterans' Assistance for three years, prompted a little game at the statehouse: Name all the former legislators who now have state jobs. The contract employees, who work as legislative liaisons for the governor's office during legislative sessions, are Chuck Felton, Preston County senator 1987-93, and Martha Walker, Kanawha County senator 1993-2001 and former Health and Human Resources chairwoman. Technically, I guess you could also count Gov. Earl Ray Tomblin ($150,000), Logan County delegate 1975-80, senator 1981-2011, former Finance chairman and Senate president; and Agriculture Commissioner Walt Helmick ($95,000), Pocahontas County delegate 1989, senator, 1989-2012, former Finance chairman.
