Rethugs in Texas give UFIA to constituents.
Let them eat cake -
While Texans await action on a school finance overhaul and teachers fret about their hemorrhaging retirement fund, state lawmakers quietly voted to increase their own pension pay Monday.
No record vote was taken when the [rethug-run] House approved a bill that would automatically boost the already generous retirement benefits of the "elected class" -- the name legislators call themselves and statewide elected officials, including the governor. Under the bill, a lawmaker with 12 years of service could retire at age 50 and immediately begin collecting $34,500 a year -- a $6,000 increase over current law.
